ABSTRACT

Pelvic floor muscle exercises (also known as Kegel exercises)—when performed correctly and consistently—help to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These exercises were developed in the late 1940s by Dr. Arnold H. Kegel, an American gynecologist, as a nonsurgical way to prevent women from leaking urine. They also work for men plagued by incontinence. Kegel exercises can help make the muscles under the uterus, bladder, and bowel (large intestine) stronger. They can help both men and women who have problems with urine leakage or bowel control.

Key words: Post-Natal, Exercise, Kegels
