Can overdoing Kegels cause ED?

Hi Gingerale, no improvements at all. I dont really know what to do next.

If you overtrain the area of your body responsible for your EQ ... it's going to affect your EQ. Just like you don't bench press or curl 7 days a week ... the same applies to your pelvic floor muscles. They need a break too.

Yes kegels can cause this issue . The pelvic floor goes into spasm and does not work as effectively . Sometimes this is accompanied by toilet issues .

So to treatment options .
A physio who deals with the pelvic floor .
If you don't have that option there is a range of things you can do . Deep flat footed squat, yoga stretches ,reverse kegels and various massage types.

Hi Pegasus, I have been to two different urologists, they checked me and said my willy and balls were fine. They also did blood tests which were fine, too. However, they didnt check my pelvic floor. Which doctor deals with it? is it a urologist? And how do they tell if something is wrong. Do they check with hand? or x ray ?
Nevertheless it`s been more than two years, dont you think it is more than enough time to heal itself?

They'll check to see if your have overactive/knotted fascia surrounding the pelvic floor area, which will cause issues.

I so much regret to have gone into this kegel thing. So I agree with you. I

Why would you have regret doing kegels? Kegels don't cause ED, they reverse ED, if anything ... and improve urinary incontinence ... and a host of other benefits.

OP ... If you haven't done kegels in ages and are experiencing issues ... you need to get checked out and pinpoint the cause.

Do you hold various yoga poses daily ? Do you massage the pelvic floor?
Perhaps physiotherapist/osteopath would be helpful : "
Continence and women's health or pelvic floor physiotherapists hold post graduate qualifications specialising in pelvic floor muscle training. They can assess your pelvic floor function and tailor an exercise program to meet your specific needs. They can also prescribe other treatment options such lifestyle modification and biofeedback. "
