Kegel balls are small, weighted balls that are used to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles play an essential role in supporting the bladder, uterus, and rectum. Regular use can help to improve bladder control, reduce the risk of urinary incontinence, and improve sexual function. The pelvic floor muscles are important in supporting the uterus and rectum, so keeping them strong can reduce the risk of prolapse.
What are Kegal Balls?
Kegel balls are small, round objects that come in a variety of materials such as silicone, glass, or metal. They are usually inserted into the vagina and held in place by the pelvic floor muscles. There are two types - single and double. Single balls are connected by a string and are designed to be used individually. Double balls consist of two balls connected by a string and are used in pairs.
How do Kegal Balls Work?
Kegel balls work by providing resistance to the pelvic floor muscles. As the balls are held in place, the muscles must contract to keep them from falling out. This contraction strengthens the muscles, making them stronger and more toned. Over time, regular use of kegel balls can lead to improved muscle control and strength.
