Kegel exercises tone your pelvic muscles.  Here is how they are done: • Squeeze the muscles that you use to stop the flow of urine (but do not do these exercises while you are urinating). • Hold for up to 10 seconds, then release. • Do this 10-20 times in a row at least 3 times a day.   Be careful not to squeeze the muscles of the leg, buttock, or abdomen.  Do these exercises on a regular basis.  It may take 4-6 weeks to notice an improvement in urinary incontinence symptoms.
