BMC’s Yawkey building doors are now closed as an entrance as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our campus and provide you with the best clinical care.

All patients and visitors on our main campus must enter our hospital via Shapiro, Menino, or Moakley buildings, where they will be greeted by team members at a new centralized check-in desk before continuing to the hospital. We are excited to welcome you and appreciate your patience as we improve our facilities.

Pelvic floor exercises, also known as Kegel exercises, can strengthen pelvic floor muscles and help with a wide variety of sexual dysfunction.

To perform Kegels, first clench your muscles to stop urinating midstream or to stop passing gas. These are the muscles that you'll exercise.

Then tighten these muscles, hold for about three seconds, then relax for three seconds. You can do this sitting, standing, or lying down. Aim for three sets of 10 reps a day.
