Please seek medical advice for undiagnosed pelvic pain. Pelvic muscle spasm is underdiagnosed and may be an underlying factor for some men who can't resolve pelvic pain despite medical treatment.

3 Causes of Pelvic Pain in Men from Overdoing Kegels

1. Overbracing Kegels

Some men hold their pelvic floor muscles braced without realizing. This can result from Kegel exercises, prostatitis pain, intense core abdominal training, stress and anxiety.

Avoid contracting your pelvic floor muscles during everyday activity. Overbracing can cause pelvic floor tightness or spasm and pelvic pain.

2. Insufficient Rest and Relaxation with Kegel Exercises

Relax your pelvic floor muscles completely after every Kegel exercise. Pelvic floor relaxation is essential for the best Kegels training effect.

Pelvic floor muscles are small and tire quickly with Kegels. Take time to rest these muscles between long Kegel exercises. Rest for as long as it takes to recover, 30 seconds - 1 minute rest is appropriate recovery time however this varies.

3. Too Many Kegels

Doing too many Kegel exercises in quick succession can cause pelvic muscle spasm and the inability to relax. Doing the right number of exercises for your body can avoid muscle spasm.

Signs and Symptoms of Overdoing Kegel Exercises for Men:

* Pelvic pain
* Pelvic ache or deep abdominal ache
* Lower back pain
* Tail bone (coccyx) pain
* Pain during intimacy
* Bladder problems e.g. bladder urgency, incomplete bladder emptying
* Bowel problems e.g. constipation, straining or incomplete emptying

Emergency Management to Relieve Pelvic Pain

* Cease Kegel exercises immediately
* Allow your pelvic floor muscles to rest and recover
* Lie down with your legs supported over 1- 2 pillows
* Practice deep breathing and pelvic floor relaxation techniques
* Apply a warm pack
