Pelvic floor exercises for men

Pelvic floor training is a woman's business! A man benefits just as much as a woman from regular training sessions for the pelvic floor, and not only after prostate surgery or with a benign enlarged prostate. Strong pelvic floor muscles can relieve symptoms of urinary incontinence and even have a positive effect on sex life. If that's not a good reason to start training right away? 

 

Why are pelvic floor exercises so important for men?

Yes, men can also benefit from regular training sessions for the pelvic floor. On the one hand, targeted pelvic floor training can alleviate symptoms of pre-existing incontinence. On the other hand, they can also have a positive effect on existing erectile dysfunction.1 Targeted training and relaxation promote blood circulation and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. And this, in turn, allows the man to control the pressure in the penis during sex and maintain an erection longer. 

Therefore, you should train your pelvic floor muscles regularly, ideally even daily. And the good thing is that just five to ten minutes of regular pelvic floor training can also have a positive effect, depending on the cause. And on top of that, they can be easily integrated into your everyday life and your training plan. Start training today – we'll show you the right exercises in this article.
