Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and are important for both men and women. They can help improve bladder and bowel control, prevent urine and stool leakage, aid in erectile function, and potentially prevent premature ejaculation in men. The exercises work to strengthen muscles that support the bladder, bowel and sexual organs. A link is provided to instruct how to correctly identify and exercise the pelvic floor muscles.

3. General view
 1948, United States gynecologist Dr. Arnold H. Kegel
published a study about pelvic floor strengthening
exercises for females following childbirth or surgery,
using a device called a Perineometer.
 These pelvic floor exercises, also known as Kegel
exercises after their inventor, are also important for
males.
 The pelvic floor muscles form a sling that runs from the
tailbone at the back to the pubic bone at the front. These
muscles support the bladder and the bowel, controlling
the passing of urine, stools, and wind. They also have a
role in erections during sex in males.

4. Male Factor
 The pelvic floor in males can be weakened by:
 prostate surgery
 pelvic trauma or surgery
 straining to pass stools
 a persistent cough
 having obesity or overweight
 repeated heavy lifting
 an overactive bladder
 lack of exercise

5. Benefits
 benefits of Kegel exercises for males include:
 improving bowel and bladder control
 helping control the passage of wind
 preventing leakage of urine and stool
 helping the bladder empty completely
 helping with achieving erections
 helping prevent premature ejaculation

6. How to do Kegel exercises
 It can be challenging to determine whether a person is
working on the right muscles while performing pelvic
floor exercises, especially as these muscles are not
visible.
 Often, people are actually conditioning their inner thighs,
their glutes, or their abdominals, making these
movements less effective for strengthening pelvic floor
muscles.
