Medical study on Kegels vs ED & venous leaks

Big Al · 06-15-2010, 10:33 PM

"Surgery was not superior to the pelvic floor training programme either subjectively or objectively. Moreover, a significant improvement was found following the training programme; 42% were satisfied with the outcome and refused surgery. Pelvic floor exercise is a realistic alternative to surgery in patients with mild degrees of venous leakage. Pelvic floor exercise is a realistic alternative to surgery in patients with mild degrees of venous leakage."

The above quote is from an interesting medical study from 1993 showing that pelvic floor exercises (Kegels) gave significant improvement to men suffering from proven venous leakage- to the degree that 42% of these men declined any corrective surgery! Pelvic floor exercise versus surgery in the treatment of impotence.

I can't stress kegels enough and try and do them as often as possible. I don't see a down side to doing them all the time, but my problem is just remembering to do them when I'm sitting down at work or idle somewhere? Or of course see a hot lady in the grocery store! :)
