Kegeling

So I read somewhere to do 300 kegels a day and by 3 months or so I will start noticing a difference in erectile strength. About five days into it, a hemorrhoid pops up. I guess I was putting to much strain on my anus. I had to stop because of it, but the hemorrhoid after about 3 weeks has still not gone away.

Has anyone experienced a problem like this with kegels? Is there a better, safer routine I could do?

I am really in dire need to improve my erectile strength, my sex life depends on it. Please direct me to some really good kegel posts too if you know of them.

Thanks.

That’s a new one for me. Are you bearing down (like having a bowel movement) instead of contracting the muscles? I can’t imagine how a kegel done correctly would put any force on a hemorrhoid.

Not sure. I just was exercising the muscle that you use to stop your urine over and over, 300 times a day, for about a week and I got a hemorrhoid. It’s kind of a disappointing situation, as I was really looking forward to seeing firmer erections. Now I’m afraid to even attempt them and I’m wondering what to do.

Your emphasizing the wrong muscle, it has happened to me. Drink more water, and eat more fiber.

If you have 2 eggs for breakfast, then get into a car accident, does that mean that eggs cause car accidents?

I really don’t think that kegels were causative, I think they just coincided. The only way they could be causative is if you were doing REVERSE kegels and bearing down really hard.

I guess. But I did check in the shower and my anus does contract whenever I kegel. I try as hard as I can to make just the penis contract, but have no luck. Try it for yourself. I don’t think it’s possible to kegel without contracting your anus. If it is, please let me know and how I can accomplish this contraction.

Rooster, I don’t think the kegels are to blame for the hemorrhoid. Still, you can do kegels in different parts of your genitals.

Try exercising in such a way that you consciously try to isolate the muscle you want to squeeze. It takes some practice, but it can be done, that’s for sure.

Just because the anus contracts, it still shouldn’t have anything to do with CREATING hemorrhoids. It will certainly make you feel them when you squeeze, but not cause them.

Its like if you have a big cavity in your tooth, and when you put your tongue into the hole, it hurts. However to think the tongue CAUSED the cavity is incorrect.

I have authored some interesting threads involving incorporating Kegels and other exercises. In case you might want to have a look:

Pilates, Kegels and Spreading

Ab exercise that incorporates Kegels

Hilarious thread! Watch out them kegels might give you hemorrhoids.

Best way to up your erections are to lift heavy ass weights, boss your boss a round, and drink pom juice.

Hey BB

What are ass weights, seriously I don’t know…..??

If you aren’t joking (?) then what he was saying is the the wts were “heavy ass” meaning very heavy, not descibing the the heaviness of his ass weights.

Of course I may be wrong, in which case I too am curious as to what an “ass weight” is!

Can I assume “Whistling Woods” isn’t in the USA? :)
