after training and strengthening your pelvic floor muscle, how do you now apply them in bed? or doing the exercise is enough to cure premature ejaculation?
Hi I need help with this, I tried doing the exercise and when I was tensing my abs and buttocks going up with my hips I had to hold my breathe doing this and as a result after doing these for 10-15 mins I felt really lightheaded and faint afterwards, should I not be holding my breathe? Tho if you contract your abs you can’t breathe as they go loose again I don’t get it
Hi, I was just wondering how many times a day should you do these relaxation exercises for maximum benefit and also, when do you know that you are ready to start doing kegels again without undoing the good work?

How do I know if I’m doing it right way?

Haii when I am squeezing I feel I am squeezing my anus regious…is it the right way I am doing this exercise..pls reply
I’m a 25 year old lad and suffered with horrendous Bladder pain. I have just found your video so going to try this for a month to see if it helps me as doctors can’t do anything else or find anything so it points to a muscular issue. Really slow flow of pee, really bad bladder pain with only a tiny amount there feels like something is being forced into my bladder!! I’ll check back in to see if it’s helped me, Thankyou for the video!
Can I also just add, when i transition positions, i feel like my bladder is being pulled on like something is wrapped around pulling on it. I feel it also on the first stretch like a pulling feeling, even with a virtually empty bladder!:( Obviously as it fills it also gets more intense.)
Hi, I have been diagnosed with chronic fissure, have tight anal sphincter along with some tear. My Doctor advised for operation ( sphincterotomy ) but I don’t want at this stage to go for it. Do you have a solution, by which I can make my anal sphincter flexible.
It’s not even uncomfortable on my butt, it’s the thighs that hurt.
OK ladies so I was having issues with a drizzling every time I sneezed and coughed. Nothing is more embarrassing than having to use the bathroom and can’t hold it for too long. I came across this Pelvic muscle exercise tool on Instagram. So I decided to look and see if it was on amazon. They had it so I decided to order it being that it was only $24. It has been a month… when I tell you it has helped me so much with my pelvic muscles, my posture and shaping my booty right. I couldn’t be more happy. If you would like to take a look go to this link https://amzn.to/2VVqpn7 and check it out. It may help you or it may not. Good day ladies.

Is squirting a sign of a weak pelvic floor? I just want to say that this is a awesome video and answered a lot of my questions. My boyfriend lasts longer than me and I think this will help me blow him away.
I’m learning and laughing, I’m such a bloody child:/ haha but thank you:)
Thanku so much for making this video love… Words cannot express how grateful I’m..❤️ I have been having terrible tightness and difficulty to pee… There was no physical pain and so I didn’t think to consult a doctor but the stream of the pee was weak and I could feel a tight heaviness in my lower abdomen.. I didn’t know what it was until I realised that it gets stronger every time I do exercises especially abs workout.. Then after a bit of a Google search I came across pelvic floor muscles and that’s how I found you.. It’s been only two days and I am in heaven ���� the tightness is going off and my flow is back ���� thanku again for this. Lots of love to you ❣️
Can you do this all day??? And keep it tight? How often should you do this exercise for maximum tightness and benefit?
I’m dealing with an overactive bladder and I just want to get rid of it cause it’s making my life miserable
The stress and excessive sitting because of the virus has caused an annoying on and off vibrating feeling between my legs. I think this yoga will help, thanks

I had a normal delivery a month back and suddenly suffering from constipation. Few days back i noticed tightness in my lady parts and it doesnt feel very relaxed but rather stiff.. There is no pain or discomfort just tightness. Would u suggest these exercises?
Simply amazing video, I am a Pelvic PTmyself and I will definitely recommend your channel to my patients… I have recenty started my own channel as well ” Pelvic Rehab Doc” I invite you to check it out and give me some constructive critique:)…. so much to learn from channels like your
Thank you so much for a very sensible and detailed description of these actions. I’ve always been physically active and, despite being disabled for the last 13 years, have continued to do all I can. But about a month ago, I began to notice a bulging when I went to the bathroom… one that grew worse as I walked. When I investigated, I found a sizeable bulge from my vagina.
About two weeks ago it became really intolerable as I couldn’t walk across a room, never mind go for a walk, without beginning to feel pressureenough to feel like I was giving birth and the baby was crowning! Now, I’m 57 years old and it’s been years since I could conceive so I knew THAT was impossible.
Until then, I had assumed I had hemorrhoids, except it wasn’t painful, as most hemorrhoids are described. In fact, thinking back, I now realize this is a condition that has been getting worse over the past few years. But it would improve spontaneously, too. Still, it’s never been this bad.
The only time I had heard of a prolapsed uterus in All Creatures Great & Small, in cows. But never women. So I looked it up and, sure enough, my symptom match every symptom described. One thing I noticed was that, first thing in the morning, I often feel fine for a few hours. So I thought bed rest may be all I need. But I’ve tried that for two weeks and I still have the same problem. And it’s really a nuisance: Both the bedrest AND the prolapsed uterus. Plus, it’s worsening my primary condition.
So I am going to try your methods to see if I can correct this problem. If I don’t see improvement in a week or so I will see a doctor. I have not rushed to the doctor now because, thanks to my primary condition, any surgery is risky. And that seems to be the only course for a doctor. I will report back after a week to let you know how I am doing.
One question. In my case, do you think I should start with doing each exercise 3 times per day sufficient? Or should I do more?
The front wall is moving the most.. I don’t think I am doing it correctly. ��
Thank you so much. As others have said, the covid closures of medical practices has affected my ability to go in for PT visits. Your video was very clear, caring and helpful.

Can a male also suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction. Will this exercise help
I want to do this exercise wid u ��
I stumbled upon this video from a recommendation from a stranger on Reddit. I have no idea what’s going on, but I’ve had crazy left hip area pain for nearly a year. Was enjoying a good run five times a week and yoga etc. this stopped all of that, the pain was so intense. Doctor just wants to prescribe medication with no sort of PT or testing…?!After just one round of this i feel a relief! Thank you so much! The one stretch with the knee bent and leg stretched behind I feel is the one that is helping me the most. Thank you! So so so much! I shall keep trying this and doing more research. THANK YOU!
This video is from a while ago, but I recently saw it and have some questions; I am really new to this, and when I do the techniques in your video, I’m really not sure if I’m actually doing them correctly. Is it normal for me to feel very aroused when doing this exercise because I do, it’s a little embarrassing to admit. I try to tighten my pelvic area for 10 seconds or longer and it’s almost unbearable because of the sexual intensity (painful almost). Also it’s really hard to not hold my breath with squeezing around that area, is that normal? I try to breath when squeezing but I automatically hold my breath because when I breath in and out it feels like I’m releasing when I want to squeeze. Also how do I know I’m releasing correctly? I don’t really feel much of a release when I stop squeezing.
OK ladies so I was having issues with a drizzling every time I sneezed and coughed. Nothing is more embarrassing than having to use the bathroom and can’t hold it for too long. I came across this Pelvic muscle exercise tool on Instagram. So I decided to look and see if it was on amazon. They had it so I decided to order it being that it was only $24.

Pretty good stretches out there.. I’M bit surprised with views u deserve M VIEWS
I have prostatitis, urgency, pain… Hope this excersive help to me.
Mam��
How long do these exercises take to show the results?
I have trouble doing this in sitting position. I just started 3 weeks ago and can do it lying down. When should I try sitting and doing this? When I try in sitting position I can’t really feel and hold contraction for the 10 seconds just for 4-5 seconds. Is this normal since it’s gravity? Am I doing it too soon?
Very good content but wished it was in better video quality.
Keep on doing the exercises girls….even I can feel an improvement after 3 weeks n I’m still doing the exercises
Yin yoga sounds good. This is getting better each time I practice this. Using this with your yoga ��♀️ video daily ������
this is fantastic Ms. Kenway. very elaborating and educating video. thank you soo much.
Hello! Is there anytype of yoga to long term relax internal/external sphincter and puborectalis muscle? Because i can’t poop or pass winds without straining. (Very frustrating) Everything started about 2 years ago, i tried lifestyle changes, and a lot of diets but nothing helped. My gastroenterologist told me it’s caused by stress, but I don’t believe him. Thanks!
will this help with hypertonic pelvic floor muscles please please reply thank you
Please, would you help where to find location to help my pelvic vagina pain?? I live in Skokie, IL,USA ����
I can’t seem to do this right. I read that you’re not supposed to flex your butt muscles. But no mater how hard I try, those always move, I can’t get them to relax. I’m can’t get my pelvic muscles to move and my butt muscles to stop moving.
I just want to thank you so much for doing these videos. I’m a young girl with a lot of physical trauma from over a half-year of three continuous (and very large) utis at once. My pelvic floor muscles were so tight that when I went for a surgery to help with it, my doctor was amazed that even under general anesthesia, my pelvic floor muscles were incredibly tight. This video especially helps me to relax as I recover from that surgery and hopefully get better and better. To anyone else out there like me: you’re not alone, and we will get through this! Especially with channels like The Flower Empowered. And of course, to anyone that has beat a problem like this and taken their lives back: congratulations, I’m happy for you and I hope that I will soon reach that stage as well with this channel! Thank you!!

Hi! Can I do this exercise for urinary retention? I’ve been having difficulty emptying my bladder. I’m going to the urologist. But I also want to do some sort of exercise since I believe in the mind-body connection and its healing power.
Michelle you are so clear and informative. Thank you for all your helpful videos. I’ve seen a pelvic floor physiotherapist before but I understood so much more listening to your information. Great techniques.
Thanks sooo much,because i had an accident at work that made my pelvic pop. I had incontinence for years since 2006. Im better now but still needs help. Btw…. i work in construction. 1st sime subscriber here from Chicago.
Thank you so much for solving this mystery for me! I have never seen it more clearly explained how to find those muscles and know if we are doing it right. I don’t have any problems, I’m only 54 right now, but I have wanted to learn this so I can take preventative action as I begin to age. Thank you!!!!
Will something like this help stretch a superficial transverse perinium muscle? I did something to my right one and I’m tired of it being taut and tender to the touch
This has been REALLY helpful with speeding up the process of healing my hypertonic pelvic floor. Thank you SO much for this post. I’ve been dealing with this pain and a misdiagnosis of IC for around 7 years. And the night I did these exercises I truly felt the muscles relax, it was such a release after years and years, that I was crying! It’s a tough journey, but with the help of my PFD doctor and people like you, I know I will finally be able to gain back a life without this chronic pain! Thank you again!
Hello michelle, so recently, about 2 weeks ago i ended up doing intense reverse kegels after doing 3 months of hard regular kegels every day. well, ever since then, i have weak erection or unable to get one, some pelvic aches and testicular pain, pain at the base, as well as feeling as though I cant push out anymore. Some people have said i strained a muscle, but I wanted your opinion on it.
When I get to the third pose, there is no way my bum is even close to touching the floor. There’s like a four inch gap. I don’t think I’m flexible enough to do it correctly. I also have trouble doing the pose with legs up, I roll over to my right side when I do it.
love this video thanks can I ask why would tight pelvic floor muscles make me bloated and having sex seems OK but masterbation makes it worse please please reply thank you so much
can I literally do kegels almost anytime anywhere? and how long do you do them at a time and how often? Lets say I did it for ten minutes two times a day… how much does that really help? thanks for the video.
You are so graceful �� just a compliment dont take it in a bad way
I am 8 months postpartum and still dealing with very tight pelvic floor muscles, among other post birth injuries that are impairing my ability to have intercourse. I’m glad to have found this and will start regularly practicing to see if it helps!

I can easily stop the flow of urine but even doing so I feel no physical contraction, lifting or tensing at all. As a result I am finding it very very difficult to replicate the squeezing of my pelvic floor muscles when I am not urinating. Am I using the incorrect muscles when stopping the flow of urine?
Does this help with the fear of having sex?I feel so tight down there
Hi Michelle. My 45 year old male who is having pelvic pain suddenly. I have been to a pelvic physiotherapist yesterday. I just wanted to get your opinion on prognosis. If one is to do kegels and the other exercises recommended for this syndrome what percentage of patients come out either pain free or with minimal pain?

Hi Michelle!
I have been doing various exercises for abdominal muscles during the last 7 years (now I am 27). I have combined many hard ones with a medium strength ones and now I do plank, side plank, Cycling in lying position, double crossover, folding knives etc. (total arounda 100-120 times).
However, recently I was diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction. My therapists suggested me to reduce both the number and the strength of the exercises I do but did not explain much.
Since my muscles are already used to a hard work, can you please suggest what kind of abdominal exercises I still can keep doing that are pelvic floor safe?
The simple one are not effective enough anymore..
Thank you!
Hello, I find your videos very helpful. I am suspecting that I have mild prolapse. I have had this discomforting feeling for a long time down there but didn’t really pay attention to it until it seemed to worsen a bit. Now that I started to do a lot of cardio with a lot of vigorous jumping especially with the legs open, there seems to be a bulging small lump up my vaginal wall opening. Sometimes I do feel something’s about to drop from there, so I was worried. I looked it up in the internet and found your channel. I tried your tips and somehow I don’t have trouble working up my pelvic floor muscles. I am new to Kegels and willing to continue doing those. When I was younger I had problems with urinating, and I kept working my pelvic floor muscles until passed urine. Do you think that could be one of the factors of my prolapse? Will prolapse be cured out of strengthening the pelvic floor muscles and avoid surgery completely or just temporarily? I would like to have your opinion before I head out to the doc, thank you!
Hi, Could you please tell me whether I can try this out for vaginismus or are there any videos of you I could try for vaginismus?Love watching your videos.Thank yo
Hello! I have a lot of tension (that is annoying and painful) in the lower tummy area and around coccyx after a few UTIs. As a tense person (my jaw is witness to this) I think that a hypertonic pelvic floor is the reason for this pain. I’m hoping that this can help.
does it helps to tighten your vaginal walls? if i try to stop the flow of urine for a couple of seconds while urinating does it help to strength my pelvic floor
Hi, im suffering badly with urinary incontinence. I’m just losing hope nothing is working. Cant locate my urinary muscles ��

Am i the only person who feels that my internal organ moved down and feel discomfort esp. When i jog everyday
I am the male of the species, I had my prostate removed some years ago that left me with bladder problems, I found that the Kegal stuff did not help, I have used pads every day, but I had a wonderful surprise, for some time my feet had been hurting making me limp, I went on line and found out I was not walking correctly, flat footed, I started walking heel and toe, rolling my foot as I walked, it worked well no more limping, but I had a massive bonus, it also worked on my pelvic floor muscles, very quickly I noticed my pads were dry or not as wet, when I went to urinate I was not leaking before I got there, a massive difference, this was only about two weeks ago and it must get better, finally I’m 79.
Its been a year since I’ve had my son and I still pee when I sneeze
Will it improve cervical strength,I have incompetent cervix
Thank you! I was wondering if these exercises can help someone who has issues with constipation? I’ve had a colonoscopy and my colon seems find, but I tend to struggle to have a BM and I also have thin stool which I understand could be due to pelvic floor muscles contracting instead of relaxing. Thanks again!
Hello there this is my first time trying to do kegels. I think I did them right. How long will it take to tighten the vagina. I have 2 kids vaginal birth. I was just wondering because my husband said i feel looser down there. That made me feel horrible and ashamed. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you for reading and responding.
To be honest one of my friend had sex before marriage now shes afraid of getting caught by her husband when she gets married. Now she is looking for some help to make her vagina tight. Will this help?? Please reply.
Hi I’ve suffered with pain and spasm everyday for last 5 years in my levator ani muscles on my right side. I’ve been told it came about due to me tensing these muscles when I became anxious. And it then became i vicious cycle. This video has really helped and the squat move you do especially. Do you think it’s possible to rid myself of pain completely if I keep these release exercises up and also what’s your opion on biofeedback treatment?
Awesome! I have epididymitis and I’ve seen research on pelvic floor stretches can ease the condition. I’ve just finished your routine and I can say I feel a release. Too soon to say after one attempt I’m cured but this is positive for me and I shall continue to try these daily. Would you say once a day or maybe twice a day? Thank you
hi I have a question I have birth to my child last mouth she weighted 7lb 15oz but my it ripped so I was wondering if I exercise it does it get tighter or it can’t?
Hi, I’m 52. Tried doing kegels for almost a week. How come after kegel exercise, I feel tightness in the front opening…am I doing correctly?
I have been diagnosed with a rectal prolapse and haemeroids, and I am waiting for x rays and an operation, and I am doing the pelvic floor exercises, but worrying about operation as the doctor said it might make incontinence worse. I am just not sure what to do. I think I am doing them properly. I am 76 years old, and was caring for my husband so put my own health on hold. I have had many operations, and have never been worried before, but now I am scared. I do hope that the pelvic floor exercises will help me. Thank you for your video.
Mam i started this exercise but its too much pain to my thigh…. it disturbs to my routine work
