WHY IT MATTERS
Proper Kegel technique lowers the risk of urinary leakage and pelvic floor strain, giving women a safer way to maintain pelvic health.
What happened
A recent CNA article explains that Kegel exercises can strengthen the pelvic floor and help prevent urine leaks. However, the routine is not suitable for every woman.
The piece outlines the correct method for performing Kegels, emphasizing controlled contraction and release to avoid overexertion. It also highlights situations in which the exercises should be avoided, such as certain pelvic conditions or when a woman experiences pain during contraction.
By following the recommended guidelines, users can safely incorporate Kegels into their routine and reduce the risk of urinary incontinence and pelvic floor injury.
