<unk> , also known as pelvic-floor<unk> , involves repeatedly contracting and relaxing the muscles that form part of the pelvic floor, now sometimes colloquially referred to as the<unk>  muscles". The<unk>  can be performed many times a day, for several minutes at a time but takes one to three months to begin to have an effect.<unk> s aim to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles have many functions within the human body. In women, they are responsible for: holding up the bladder, preventing urinary stress incontinence (especially after childbirth), vaginal and uterine prolapse. In men, these muscles are responsible for: urinary continence, fecal continence, and ejaculation. Several tools exist to help with these<unk> s, although various studies debate the relative effectiveness of different tools versus traditional<unk> s. The American gynecologist Arnold<unk>  first published a description of such<unk> s in 1948.
