Are Kegels Dangerous Actually ? Please clarify my concernes

Good evening everyone,

so recently I have read this Inadvertent kegels / dangers of excessive kegeling? and I was starting to wonder if there is any truth here, actually I am getting pretty concerned these days as I have realized myself some changes, I would call them negative changes, and I think they are caused with excessive kegels exercises.

Than there is this article ( please take a look ) where they are talking how kegels for a healthy men are extremely dangerous and can cause some serious problems, mostly with prostate.

Reason why I am asking this is because these days I have much bigger urge to take a piss, too often, noticably more than before. And that urge gets quite strong, which means I can not control the urge as I used before and my water intake is the same if not even lower than before.

I have stopped doing kegels couple of days ago to see if there will be any changes, however I don’t think I was overdoing them, as I do not have that excessive nature.

And I have one more concern, I have taught myself to edge on weekdays (5 days) and not to cum even single time in that period. Mostly I edge two times a day. I ejaculate on weekends. I understand that ejaculating is healthy and good for prostate, so that might be the reason as well.

Please if anybody have any experience or thoughts, I will be more than happy to hear.

Thanks, Jason.

Overworking the muscle is a real concern with kegels which is why it’s not advised to do them passively while doing other things. I over-trained kegels for a week or two and had some soreness and loss of EQ and ejaculation control. I think a light kegel routine can be very beneficial but it’s very easy to overdo. I’ve also heard of this chronic kegel problem leading to prejac issues.

This statement from that article you linked makes me think that this may be one reason that reverse kegels could be important, so you can learn to consciously relax this area. I’m not a doctor so this is just a guess.

You made a good point, I forgot to mention that only after reading that thread and after my decision to stop doing kegels for some time, and focus more on reverse kegels, I than noticed how much kegels I am doing with my regular daily routines, passively. I am doing them not being aware of them, but they are not strong kegels at all, but they are kegels however. I am trying to relax that area to see if there will be any difference.

Everything else is fine with me, only that urge to piss more often and not being able to hold that urge is what concernes me. Before, I could hold the urge for hours literally, not being afraid I will not get to the bathroom on time…

Thanks for input man, appreciate it.
