Subj: Posture
Date: 2/2/2006
Thank you for the information on this website. While I'm not a certified physician, I've noticed that good posture increases the effectiveness of Kegel Exercises. Dose maintaining an upright seated or standing position allow for better control of PC muscles? If so, then perhaps this tip will help others who are having difficulty with their routines.
Matt

AskDocWeb: While I'm not sure how much posture affects the effectiveness of the Kegel Exercises, it has an amazing affect on your attitude. And your attitude controls your latitude, your range of possible choices and actions. You can prove this to yourself by assuming the posture of a negative, weak individual. Adjust your posture to what it would be if you were such a person. How would you hold your head, your shoulders, etc. and get a feel for what that is like.

Now adjust your posture to that of a powerfully positive individual. Notice the changes in how you hold your head, shoulders, even your breathing changes. A powerfully positive individual gets what they want. Maybe you can too with just a change in your posture. At the very least you have a lot more choices available to you.

Subj: Testes pain
Date: 2/8/2005
sir I'm doing kegels exercise, but I have little pain in right side testes. Can this exercise be harmful? Second thing can I extend my ejaculation time by doing it / please suggest,
Apurv

AskDocWeb: We suggest you have your doctor find the source of the pain in your testes. That pain is not caused by Kegel exercises but could be something serious.

Subj: Need Kegel exercise help
Date: 2/10/2005
I have been trying to hold my pc muscles tight but I feel like I can only hold it for a second. I have been trying to start and stop during urination but it doesn't seem like its helping me hold my muscles tight. Then my second question is...Is starting and stopping during urination just as good as doing the actual exercises? Because I'm good at that. Thanks for the help,
Craig

AskDocWeb: Once again, starting and stopping during urination is only intended to teach you to recognize the correct muscles. It does not replace the Kegel exercises. Keep at it and you will build up an ability to hold it for much more than a second.

Subj: Jelqing
Date: 2/10/2005
Jelqing is dangerous to the tissue corpus canvernousus, corpus spongiosus and micro vessels in the penis.
MC

AskDocWeb: Any exercise can be dangerous if you overdo it. Warming up before strenuous exercise is required to prevent damage. For your penis, warm up can be as simple as applying a warm wash cloth before jelqing.

Kegel exercises are part of a whole set of exercises for your penis.

Subj: I have question please
Date: 1/7/2006
If I make this exercises hardly and too much is there any side effects? And when I squeeze PC muscles and keep it for awhile and after that relax it I found the muscles relaxed by it self, is there any problem? Please send the answer to my Email: xxxxx@xxxmail.com
Gaust

AskDocWeb: Sorry Gaust, we don't send email from this website. All answers are posted so that everyone can benefit from them.

Now about the muscle relaxing by itself, that is what happens naturally. Anytime you contract a muscle it will only stay tight as long as you clench it. Make a fist and it will relax by itself over time. That is normal and there is no problem. Just keep exercising and you will learn to make a better distinction between what it feels like when it is squeezed and what it feels like when it is relaxed.

Subj: Serious problem
Date: 2/16/2006
Hi, thanks for the exercise advice. For about a week I've been trying these exercises like you explained but something bizarre happened: I waited several days to try out stop-and-go masturbation to work on my "control" and I set my mind on doing it for 15 minutes then coming. Well, after 15 minutes I "let myself go" and... no orgasm. A tiny bit of semen came out but it didn't even feel like an orgasm (and I am used to having normal, very pleasurable orgasms); I asked myself "Did I come at all?". I tried it again a few hours later because I thought it was a fluke but the same thing happened. Will I go back to having normal orgasms?
Tommy

AskDocWeb: If you have only been doing Kegels for a week, you haven't accomplished enough to do anything. That's kind of like saying that you practiced for a marathon race for a whole week and then expected that to have some affect. It is more likely that you took the fun out of masturbation by taking this far too serious. Lighten up and learn to play with it.

Subj: Breathing exercise
Date: 2/16/2006
Hey, do you happen to know about an exercise that says to contract your anus and breathe in or something? I read about it in some forums but I cannot seem to find it. It said it was to last longer and have better orgasms. Thanks,
Fabian

AskDocWeb: As a specific exercise, no we haven't heard of that. That sounds like someone just starting to learn Kegel exercises. Some people never seem to make a distinction between those muscles.

Subj: Premature ejaculation
Date: 2/21/2006
Hi, I have an extreme case of Premature ejaculation (I often finish within a few seconds) and I was wondering if these Kegel exercises can help? I've had this problem as far as I can remember. Also I heard Kegel exercises can actually cause premature ejaculation? Is this true? Do you recommend any products out there (preferably non prescription)? Thank you
Gene

AskDocWeb: You have likely heard and read a lot about premature ejaculation but I would like to introduce you to a new idea. It is possible that your premature ejaculation is not really a problem but instead may be a sign that you are multi-orgasmic. Many men are multi-orgasmic and don't know that they are because they stop stimulation. If you continue stimulation after ejaculation, you may find that you are capable of many orgasms. Take some time to consider if this may be true for you.

Subj: Squeezing during urination
Date: 2/24/2006
I have heard someone suggest that squeezing the tip of the penis during urination for 2 second at a time can also help. Is this true?
Douglas

AskDocWeb: Doing that will pressurize and expand the urethra, the tube that drains urine from the bladder. That's a bad idea. It will not help and it is dangerous. Two seconds is long enough to cause this tube to rupture and that will require surgery.

Subj: Kegel muscles
Date: 2/28/2006
I've been doing the kegels for a few weeks, I tighten my anus and then release after a few secs and repeat. Is that the correct technique?
Steven

AskDocWeb: That is not correct. You need to go back to the beginning and start over by reading the directions. The muscles used for Kegels are not the ones used for tightening you anus.

Subj:
Date: 3/2/2006
Will kegels help with size too?
J

AskDocWeb: Yes, once you get going with them you can see the difference in penis size when you flex those muscles.

Subj: Learning to isolate the different PC muscles
Date: 3/31/2006
I can't seem to do these Kegels without contracting my anus also. It just feels like they both contract as part of the same movement. Do you have any tips/advice on learning to isolate the different PC muscles? Thanks in advance.
Jake

AskDocWeb: This is something that you just have to play with and experiment to find out how you can do that.

Subj: Seminal leakage
Date: 4/20/2006
Does doing kegels help stop seminal leakage?
Cory

AskDocWeb: No, that is part of the normal lubrication process when you become sexually aroused.

Subj: Week muscle
Date: 6/19/2006
I have a super week muscle send all the info you can.
Luis

AskDocWeb: Sorry Luis, we don't send email. Information is published on this website so that everyone can share. In order to strengthen your PC muscles you will have to read and follow the directions.

Kegel exercises are part of a whole set of exercises for your penis.

Subj: Kegal exercise
Date: 3/7/2007
I understand most of the kegal exercise except the part during sex. I contract the pc muscle when I'm almost at the point of no return? How do I know when to release it? And won't the point of no return just come right back?
Bob

AskDocWeb: That's the point, enjoy it. Flexing this muscle during sex increase the size of your penis as well as making it firmer (harder). We encourage you experiment with this in a playful way to find out what happens.

Subj: Increase the quantity & quality of sperm
Date: 5/29/2007
I have low sperm volume, I would like to increase the quantity & quality of sperm. Please advice any exercise, allopathy medicine or ayurvedic medicine. Any help will be appreciated. I JUST WANT TO INCREASE THE QUANTITY & QUALITY. Thanks,
Sumith

AskDocWeb: You can make an appointment at a fertility clinic or go for Sperm Volume Enhancers.

Subj: Does this really benefit
Date: 8/2/2007
Does this really benefit men sexually? I mean I read some other sites that backed you guys up and some sites were saying that the more damaging then beneficial. And does doing kegels actually give you more sexual stamina.
Brandon

AskDocWeb: Just to be clear, we are talking about an exercise that develops strength, stamina and control of a specific set of muscles. Of course any exercise can be overdone and we encourage you to use your common sense. Which do you believe gives you more benefits, well-developed muscles or flabby ones?

Subj: In our early 30's and struggling
Date: 9/12/2007
I'm in crisis. I have been with my wife for about 12 years, we've been married for at least 4 with 2 children - oldest is 3 years. We are each other's first and our sex relationship has never been good. We are now in our early 30's and are struggling. When we are doing our best, either I can't hold the erection for a long time or I may ejaculate really early before she can have some enjoyment. She is really not open to therapy. And I have been to a Urologist who claims that I am more than healthy. I know that I often wonder about the size of my penis and if I am able to please my wife. After reading this first page, it seems like Kegel exercises can assist. I am going to read up on it and see how it helps. Do you have any advice?
RSW

AskDocWeb: Yes, keep track of those things you do that please her and collect them like the gems they are. It helps to occasionally experiment with new positions and ways to give her pleasure.

Subj: Bruising and or purple spots
Date: 10/7/2007
Is it common to get some bruising and or purple spots (no pain at all) on the penis head from doing kegel exercises? What is the cause of it?
L.

AskDocWeb: It has nothing to do with kegel exercises. Please get this checked out by your doctor.

Subj: PC muscle
Date: 1/7/2008
I could able to trace out my pc muscle easily but I don't know how to squeeze the PC muscle either by inhaling and exhaling or holding and pressing by the finger please answer me. Thanks and Regards,
Kaleem

AskDocWeb: Please review the directions again. If you can stop the flow of urine while going to the restroom, you are squeezing your PC muscle.
