pelvic floor exercises of repeatedly contracting and relaxing the muscles that form part of the pelvic floor (isolated from thigh and buttock muscle contractions). Exercises are usually done to reduce urinary incontinence (for example, in women after childbirth) or reduce premature ejaculatory occurrences and enhance erections in men. Could also help to reduce the feeling of incomplete evacuation in Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Exerciser devices include eggs, Ben wa balls (rin-no-tama), vaginal cones, weights, and electrical stimulators and could provide biofeedback devices but are not always recommended.
Internet-of-things (IoT) applications include kGoal Smart Kegel Trainer, Skea - exerciser and a video game, Elvie - kegel balls and exercise tracker for pelvic floor and OhMiBod's LoveLife Krush - a "smart" Internet-connected kegel exerciser that doubles as a sex toy.
Note potential problems if pushing the device down, mis-training muscles or over-tensing the pelvic floor that can lead to a condition called hypertonicity.
