Enhancing Male Stamina: Effective Exercises for Lasting Performance - Urology

Sexual ability


I feel that I might be a bit quick.
Are there any methods to increase endurance? Currently, I have found that Kegel exercises, pelvic floor exercises, and sexual qigong can help.
Additionally, a method proposed by Dr.
Shen Dongxi (a physician and physical therapist at Hongren Hospital in Changhua County) suggests that many exercises claiming to enhance male potency may not actually improve sexual performance due to training the wrong muscles.
As a qualified physician and physical therapist, he explains what true potency-enhancing exercises are.
Men should practice for 20 to 30 minutes daily and maintain consistency to significantly benefit male sexual ability.

To strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, one can use a spring-loaded device to enhance the hip adductor muscles.
Alternatively, one can practice at home without any equipment.
The method is as follows:
1.
Sit on a low stool with your legs apart and hands placed on the inner knees.
Inhale, then use your hands to push the knees outward while simultaneously squeezing the legs inward, creating opposing forces with your hands and legs.
Hold this position for at least 30 seconds.

2.
Grasp the back of the low stool firmly with both hands.
Place a ball or other object between your knees for support, keeping a distance between the knees.
With your hands secured, squeeze your thighs tightly to maintain continuous contraction of the inner muscles.
Dr.
Shen emphasizes that the key to these potency-enhancing exercises is to feel a contraction in the pelvic floor muscles, with the penis experiencing a sensation of retraction.
It is important to hold each position for at least 30 seconds; if the duration is too short, muscle strength will not be effectively trained.
Over time, the holding duration can be gradually extended to several minutes.
Practicing for 20 to 30 minutes a day will yield noticeable results.
Do you think Dr.
Shen's method is effective? It seems that he is the only physician advocating for this online.
What is your opinion on its effectiveness? Additionally, how do the other three exercises compare? Which of these four exercises is likely to be the most effective? Are there any other good exercises or methods you would recommend to increase endurance? Also, what external aids could be used to achieve this goal? Thank you very much.

Anonymous: Hello, regarding your issue, it can be further diagnosed for confirmation.
Whether it is insufficient erection hardness, premature ejaculation, or other conditions, the medical treatment approaches differ.
If convenient, could you describe your situation? This will help in finding a suitable training/rehabilitation method for you.
Mr.
Shen's method can train the inner thigh muscle group, which theoretically should not have a significant effect on the corpora cavernosa.
The actual effect may only be known after practical application.
If there are any unclear points, feel free to ask again, and we can further discuss and research together.

More Info


Enhancing male stamina and performance is a topic of great interest, and there are several exercises and techniques that can be beneficial. The methods you've mentioned, including Kegel exercises, pelvic floor strengthening, and specific movements proposed by Dr. Shen Dongxi, can indeed contribute to improved stamina and sexual performance. Let’s delve into these methods and their effectiveness.


Kegel Exercises
Kegel exercises are designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder, bowel, and, in men, the prostate. By regularly practicing Kegel exercises, men can enhance their control over ejaculation and improve overall sexual function. The basic technique involves:
1. Identifying the right muscles: The easiest way to find your pelvic floor muscles is to try to stop urination midstream. The muscles you use are your pelvic floor muscles.

2. Contracting and holding: Once you identify these muscles, contract them for 3-5 seconds, then relax for the same amount of time. Aim for 10-15 repetitions, three times a day.


Dr. Shen Dongxi's Method
Dr. Shen's approach focuses on strengthening the internal muscles, particularly the ischiocavernosus and bulbospongiosus muscles, which play a crucial role in sexual performance. His suggested exercises involve:
1. Resistance Training: Using a resistance band or simply your body weight, you can perform exercises that involve pushing your knees apart while simultaneously trying to bring them together. This creates a contraction that targets the pelvic floor.

2. Duration and Consistency: Holding the contractions for at least 30 seconds is crucial for building strength. Gradually increasing the duration as you become more comfortable can lead to better results.


Other Techniques
In addition to Kegel exercises and Dr. Shen's methods, other techniques can also be effective:
1. Aerobic Exercise: Engaging in regular cardiovascular activities, such as running, swimming, or cycling, can improve blood circulation, which is essential for sexual health. Improved cardiovascular fitness can enhance stamina and endurance.

2. Strength Training: Building overall muscle strength can contribute to better performance. Focus on compound movements like squats and deadlifts, which engage multiple muscle groups.

3. Flexibility Training: Incorporating stretching exercises can improve flexibility and reduce the risk of injury, which is beneficial for overall physical performance.


External Aids
While exercises are fundamental, some external aids can complement your training:
1. Sexual Health Supplements: Certain supplements, such as L-arginine, ginseng, and maca root, are believed to enhance blood flow and stamina. However, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any supplement regimen.

2. Devices: Some men find that using vacuum erection devices can help improve erectile function and stamina over time.


Conclusion
In summary, enhancing male stamina involves a combination of targeted exercises, overall fitness, and possibly the use of supplements or devices. Kegel exercises and Dr. Shen's methods are effective for strengthening the pelvic floor, while aerobic and strength training can improve overall stamina. Consistency is key; incorporating these exercises into your daily routine can yield significant benefits over time. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise program or supplement to ensure it aligns with your health needs.
