Pelvic floor exercises, also known as Kegel exercises, can strengthen pelvic floor muscles and help with a wide variety of sexual dysfunction.

To perform Kegels, first clench your muscles to stop urinating midstream or to stop passing gas. These are the muscles that you'll exercise.

Then tighten these muscles, hold for about three seconds, then relax for three seconds. You can do this sitting, standing, or lying down. Aim for three sets of 10 reps a day.
