The pubococcygeus muscle or PC muscles is a hammock-like muscle, found in both sexes, that stretches from the pubic bone to the coccyx (tail bone) forming the floor of the pelvic cavity and supporting the pelvic organs. It is part of the levator ani group of muscles.
It controls urine flow and contracts during orgasm. It aids in urinary control and childbirth. A well-developed pubococcygeus muscle can enhance sex and orgasm in both sexes. A strong PC muscle has also been linked to a reduction in urinary incontinence and proper positioning of the baby's head during childbirth. The PC muscle also allows men to move the penis up and down while the penis is erect. This is in essence a Kegel exercise contraction.
The Pelviq has a simple and effective design. The sensor is made of molded silicone and does a good job of isolating the pelvic floor muscles. The pressure in the sensor is easily regulated from with the hand pump and can be removed for cleaning. The manufacturer says you can put it in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. This device is indicated for all conditions except expecting mothers. The variable resistance levels allow significant progression of muscle strength. The Pelvexiser is highly recommended for stress incontinence, because of its adjustable resistance. This device is an excellent choice for women with low to moderate pelvic floor muscle strength.
