How to do Kegal Exercises for Men 男性如何做「凱格爾運動」 (提肛運動)

Prostate Cancer Supportive Care (PCSC) Program

The PCSC Program is a comprehensive survivorship program developed at the Vancouver Prostate Centre for men with prostate cancer, their partners, and their family from the time of initial diagnosis onward. Men can self-refer to this program or be referred by their doctor. Kegal Exercise (Strengthening pelvic floor muscles) is one of the PCSC program.

If you are not a prostate cancer patient, you may try the instruction on wikiHow to do Kegal Exercises for Men :
Before you do a Kegel exercise, find your pelvic floor muscles by trying to stop the flow of urine mid-stream. Those are the muscles you want to squeeze during Kegels! To do the exercise, squeeze your pelvic floor (or kegel) muscles for 5 seconds, then rest for 10 seconds. Aim for 10 reps 3-4 times a day. Try doing Kegel exercises while you're talking on the phone or watching TV. To make sure you're doing the exercises correctly, keep reading by clicking the above Hyperlink!
