Patients suffering from anal fissures are mainly due to severe pain caused by spasms of the anal sphincter, which makes the fissure difficult to heal. On the contrary, if the anal sphincter is too loose and the support for the hemorrhoids and rectal mucosa is not enough, it will lead to hemorrhoids prolapse and prolapse of the anus. People who have anal disease after surgery have various degrees of damage to the anal sphincter. Effective anal function exercise at this time can improve local blood circulation, reduce congestion and expansion of hemorrhoid veins, enhance the local disease resistance of the anus and rectum, and promote wounds. Healing to avoid and reduce the recurrence of the anal disease.

Regularly tightening and relaxing the anal gate can help to enhance yang qi, clear the meridians and activate collaterals, warm the five internal organs and prolong life, and can prevent and treat diseases such as prolapse of the anus, hemorrhoids, impotence, premature ejaculation, enuresis, and frequent urination.
Frequent tightening and loosening of the anus can restrain the urethra and relieve incontinence. Urinary incontinence is a problem for many adult women. Frequent tightening and relaxing of the anus can increase the tension of the pelvic floor muscles, strengthen the resistance of the urethra, reduce the overactive response of the bladder muscles, and restore and strengthen the function of restricting urination…
Regularly tightening and relaxing the anus can activate blood, remove stasis and eliminate hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are caused by varicose veins and poor blood flow in the anus. When lifting the air and shrinking the anus, it has a crowding effect on the perianal vein, which can make the local venous return smooth.

Regularly tightening and loosening the anus strengthens the perineum and improves “sexual” pleasure. In middle-aged women, especially multiparous women with vaginal delivery, the compression of the fetal head can lead to the relaxation of the pelvic floor and vaginal muscles, which can be exacerbated by vaginal dilation or ligament laceration during birth trauma. Regularly tightening and relaxing the anus can make the entire pelvic floor muscle group tough, which is conducive to the blood supply of the reproductive organs, enhances the ability to feel sexual, which in turn can improve the quality of the couple’s sexual life and promote family harmony.
