The pubic-coccygeal muscle (LC muscle) is the muscle that makes up the medial part of the muscle that raises the anus . The fibers of the pubic-coccygeal muscle, depending on the organ that they surround, are called: the pubic-vaginal muscle, pubic-urethral muscle, pubic-prostatic muscle, pubic-rectal muscle (pubo-rectal loop), etc.
Belongs to the category of intimate muscles. It plays a decisive role in the sexual life of a person, for which it is called the “muscle of love” [1] . Weak LK muscle causes difficulties in childbirth, and is also the cause of urinary incontinence.

History
Despite the fact that the LK muscle and exercises for it were popularized by Arnold Kegel , the practices themselves were not his discovery. Taoist sexual practices knew about the “muscle of love” and developed a series of exercises to strengthen the LK muscle for healing, longevity, sexual art and spiritual development [2] .
LK muscle functions
- Deviation of the urethra , rectum to the womb .
- Promotes the creation of the posterior vesicourethral angle, providing one of the mechanisms for holding urine .
- Creating an anorectal angle, which contributes to the holding of feces.
- Strengthening the closure function of the urethra.
- Strengthening the closure function of the anal canal .
- Increased tonus and increased evacuation function of the prostate .
- Holding the contents of the follicles in the prostate, seminal vesicles, ampoules of the excretory ducts.
In women, the pubic-coccygeal muscle (Houston muscle) also provides:
- Volust - pleasure during intercourse.
- Increases vaginal tone, ensuring the closure of its walls [3] .
Diagnosis of LK muscle
The LK muscle is localized when urination is interrupted (in a sitting position with legs apart). For men, there is another method - to make bouncing movements with the penis during an erection. Also, these methods can diagnose the strength of the LC muscle of a particular person [4] .
