Will Kegel exercises improve my sex life?
If you have noticed that it is more difficult to reach orgasm or that your other half has noticed it is more difficult to climax; your pelvic floor may have weakened.
An orgasm happens when the muscles in your vagina, anus, and uterus involuntarily contract and then relax. This is the amazing feeling of "release."
Orgasms are bigger and stronger with a strong pelvic floor.

Can I overdo Kegel exercises?
Yes of course you can! It is a muscle like any other in the body. You would not do excessive squats and not expect to feel the pain after?
If you do too many or hold the squeezes for too long the muscles in the pelvic floor can go into spasm and may result in a tight rigid pelvic floor. This can cause pain in your pelvic area, pain when emptying your bladder or during intercourse.

Will Kegels help my piles?
