How does a man perform kegel exercises?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Exercises that target pelvic floor muscles are to be done.To find your pelvic floor muscles, stop urinating in midstream or tighten the muscles that keep you from passing gas. Both actions use your pelvic floor muscles. Once you've identified your pelvic floor muscles, you can exercise them in any position. However, you might find it easier to do them lying down at first. Tighten your pelvic floor muscles, hold for three seconds and then relax for three seconds. Try it a few times in a row. When your muscles get stronger, try doing Kegel exercises while sitting, standing or walking. For best results, focus on tightening only your pelvic floor muscles. Be careful not to flex the muscles in your abdomen, thighs or buttocks. Avoid holding your breath. Instead, breathe freely during the exercises. Repeat three times a day. Aim to do at least three sets of 10 repetitions a day.

What are the non-surgical treatment options for grade 23 varicocele and are there any medicines that can actually cure it without needing surgery
