Yes, Kegel exercises are proven to be highly effective when done correctly and consistently. Numerous studies have shown their success in treating urinary incontinence and pelvic floor weakness. The key is proper technique and dedication. For many, they are a first-line treatment before considering more invasive options like medication or surgery.
