Hello.

If you are inadvertently releasing a bit of urine, it's probably because your PC muscle needs toning. Like any muscle, this one can become a bit flabby if it's not exercised.

The PC muscle is the muscle around the entrance to your vagina. It’s also related to the strength of your orgasmic contractions, so if it’s weak or flabby, your orgasms will be weak and flabby too. To strengthen your PC muscle, do Kegel exercises (named for the physician who discovered this clever little muscle). Luckily, the PC muscle also stops and starts the flow of urine, so it’s easy to locate. Just contract it as though you’re trying to hold back the flow of urine. Got it? Now begin a daily regimen of contracting and relaxing the muscle. It helps to associate it with something you do each day—like taking a shower.

Once your PC muscle is strong, you’ll not only have better urinary control, but you'll also notice a difference in your orgasmic intensity. Bonus!

If you do not notice a difference after a few weeks, you should see your gynecologist for a complete exam in order to determine whether you have some underlying condition which needs treatment. Best of luck to you. Dr. J
