Kegel Exercises – Small Effort, Big Difference in Intimate Health
Most of us spend a lot of time talking about diet, yoga, walking, or going to the gym. But there is one area of the body that usually doesn’t get any attention – the pelvic floor muscles. These hidden muscles are actually responsible for bladder control, core support, and even sexual confidence.
I still remember one of Dr. M.S. Siddiqui’s patients, a young man in his late 30s, who came in with complaints of poor bladder control and low stamina in intimacy. Instead of giving him heavy medication, the doctor introduced him to Kegel exercises. Within a few weeks, he felt more confident, in control, and said – “Doctor saab, I never thought such a simple exercise could make this much difference.”
So yes, Kegels may look small, but the impact is truly powerful.
What Exactly Are Kegel Exercises?
Kegel exercises are nothing fancy. They are just a way to tighten and relax the pelvic muscles – the same ones you use when you try to stop urination midway.
Think of them like push-ups for your inner muscles. You can do them sitting, standing, or even lying on your bed. And nobody around you will even notice.
Why Should Women Try Kegels?

For women, Kegels can become a lifelong partner. After childbirth, many women complain of urinary leakage when they laugh, cough, or even while running. Pelvic floor exercises reduce this problem by giving strength to the bladder muscles.
They also:
Increase natural tightness and tone.
Help in faster recovery after pregnancy.
Improve sexual pleasure by enhancing blood flow.
And Men? Are Kegels Useful for Them Too?

Absolutely. Men who practice Kegel exercises often report better control over ejaculation, improved erection quality, and more stamina.
Many of Dr. Siddiqui’s male patients struggling with premature ejaculation or even age-related urinary leakage have found relief through this simple practice.
How to Do Kegels the Right Way

If you are new, don’t worry. Here’s a friendly step-by-step guide:
Find the right muscles – The easiest way is to try stopping urination mid-flow once (just for identification).
Get comfortable – Beginners often find it easiest while lying on their back.
Squeeze and hold – Tighten the pelvic muscles for 3–5 seconds.
Relax – Release slowly and breathe normally.
Repeat – Do 10 reps, three times a day.
👉 Over time, you can practice while sitting at your desk, cooking, or even while driving. Nobody will know.
Mistakes People Make
Holding the breath (remember to breathe normally).
Squeezing stomach or thigh muscles instead of pelvic ones.
Overdoing it in excitement and ending up with soreness.
Like any exercise, it’s about being consistent, not about pushing yourself too hard in one day.
Why Consulting a Specialist Helps
On YouTube or random blogs, you’ll find many guides about Kegels. But here’s the truth: many people do them wrong. Instead of strengthening, they sometimes strain other muscles.
That’s why consulting an expert like Dr. M.S. Siddiqui, who has 12+ years of experience in sexual health and general medicine, is a safer choice. Guidance ensures you get results without any side effects.
