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.

I have a Grade 1 left varicocele measuring 3.1 mm and my sperm count is okay but motility and morphology are low. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments I can try?
While surgery (varicocelectomy) is a common treatment for varicoceles, especially when they cause infertility or significant pain, it's not always the only option, particularly for a Grade 1 varicocele measuring 3.1 mm. Lifestyle modifications and monitoring can be effective for mild cases.
