Is it good for men to do ani exercises?

The anus is a private and obscure place, which few people will mention, but anal exercises are very good for our body. Women can treat urinary incontinence by doing anal exercises, and men can treat sexual dysfunction by doing anal exercises. Anal lifting is a small movement, don't underestimate this small movement, there are many benefits of anal lifting. Let's take a look at the benefits and methods of anal lifting exercises.

Chinese medicine believes that the anus is not only a place where qi changes, but also where qi can turn into essence once it is full. If this place is open, the essence will escape. If the essence escapes, life will have no energy and everything will be out of control, so we need to "close the anus". But the key is not to "close" but to "lift" it up.

Lifting the anus upwards will prevent the semen from escaping easily. Therefore, health science attaches great importance to "lifting the airway internally" and lifting the anus to keep the original qi stored inside.

Regularly lifting the anus can help raise yang energy, promote blood circulation, warm the five internal organs and prolong life. It can also prevent and treat diseases such as prolapse of the anus, hemorrhoids, impotence, premature ejaculation, urinary incontinence, frequent urination, and at the same time has a significant effect on preventing and treating chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, and varicose veins of the lower limbs.

Methods of levator ani exercise

The ancient Chinese secret recipe for longevity, "Sixteen Tips for Health Preservation", mentioned that "the anus should be lifted frequently" (the anus refers to the anus), and Sun Simiao also proposed that "the anus should be contracted frequently" (contracting means lifting and contracting). Both mean that frequently doing anus lifting exercises with breathing is beneficial to the rise and fall of the qi in the body, thereby promoting the circulation of qi and blood in the body.

The anus lifting exercise can be performed while sitting, standing, or walking. The specific method is: relax your whole body, breathe naturally, lift the anus and perineum together, inhale at the same time, and then relax while exhaling. One lifting and one relaxation counts as one time, and repeat about 30 times.

There is no time or venue limit for the levator ani exercise. In addition to the lying levator ani method, there are also several other methods of levator ani: standing, sitting, tiptoe, sitting, leg-crossing and leg-flexing. Although the postures and movements are slightly different, the methods of levator ani are similar.

The specific method of lifting the anus is: relax the whole body, squeeze the buttocks and thighs, take a deep breath, lift the anus when inhaling, and relax when exhaling. One lift and one release counts as one time. You can do it 20 to 30 times, 3 to 5 times a day. The method is as follows (sitting, lying, or standing): when inhaling, pull the anus inward and upward, tighten the anus, and relax when exhaling. If you can take the chest-knee position (kneeling with both knees, chest against the bed, and raising the buttocks) to do the anus lifting exercise, the effect will be better.

When exercising, you should quickly contract and relax the muscles around the anus, and you can slowly increase the exercise time and frequency. In addition, you can also use the following method: you can stand, sit or lie down. When sitting, sit up straight, relax your arms, take a deep breath (no need to hold your breath), and then do the anus lifting exercise.

Sexologists say that levator ani is an action performed by the levator ani muscles, anal sphincter, and pelvic floor muscles. These muscles are voluntary muscles that can be contracted and relaxed by consciousness. In daily life, levator ani is very beneficial to human health. It can effectively improve the elasticity of the anal sphincter and strengthen the restraint of the anus.

In addition, people can also improve the blood circulation of the human body's anus and surrounding tissues through levator ani exercises, reduce venous congestion and varicose veins, and improve the contraction of rectal smooth muscles, thereby improving the disease resistance of the rectum, anus and surrounding tissues. Lifting the anus is a traditional male sexual health care method in my country, which can effectively enhance male sexual function. And levator ani has many benefits for male sexual health.

1. Kegel exercises can train the pelvic floor muscles from the coccyx to the pubis. These muscles support bladder function and sexual intercourse, allowing blood to stay in the penis area and maintain penile erection.

2. Kegel exercises can strengthen the contraction of the pelvic muscles. Men doing this exercise can help improve erectile dysfunction. However, if the sexual dysfunction is caused by insufficient arterial blood flow or psychological reasons, the effect of this exercise is limited.

3. For men, doing ani-lifting exercises helps the anus and prostate contract, which theoretically helps sexual function.

4. Anal levator exercises are also called perineal contraction exercises. The purpose of this exercise is to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, or the pubococcygeus muscles. These muscles stretch from the back of the pubis to the front and surround the urethra and rectum. Strengthening the pubococcygeus muscles can promote the function of the urethra and anal sphincter and prevent anal incontinence.

It is important to keep doing the anal lifting exercise and do not relax until you can no longer hold on. Do not tighten your abdominal, buttocks and leg muscles when exercising. If you persist for several months, you will see significant results, feel energetic and have stronger urination. When exercising, you should feel comfortable and do not rush for success. The key is perseverance.
