numb pc muscles

Hi, i’ve been kegeling a lot on a daily basis (200 at least, sometimes 500+), for about the last 2 weeks. I’ve sometimes find that my pc muscles get numb , then when i kegel i can’t really feel anything so i question wether they are doing any good, when i put my hand between crotch + anus I can feel the muscle tensing.

As i’ve only been doing pe exercises for 2/3 weeks is this just natural ?

(i’ve increased the hold on the kegel to about 4-5 seconds recently too)

thanks for any help you can offer

You may be overdoing the Kegels. If you’re new to Kegels, start with only enough of them for your BC to feel a bit tired. If that’s 25 or 50, the next day add only 10 more. In conditioning this muscle slowly you’ll still be able to do a good number of them in a matter of weeks and without tiring yourself out.

My guess is that on days when you do 500 of them you are a lot more numb than when you do 200.

Another common cause for numbness in this area is bicycling with a non-ergonomic seat. A great deal of body weight is concentrated in this very small and sensitive area.

Sorry to bring up such an old thread - I can tense my BC for about 30 seconds at a time and the following day I do feel numbness. Is this simply my body telling me to calm it down?

Thanks

Yes
