The implementation of Kegel exercises allows the strengthening of the pelvic floor in postpartum women, affirming their effectiveness with variations in their frequency and duration, since complementary exercises are added for greater benefit in these women. The present study aims to determine the effectiveness of Kegel exercises in strengthening the pelvic floor in postpartum women through a systematic review of the available scientific literature. The methodology that is implemented is a systematic review where search techniques were used in databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library, on the other hand, tools such as the PEDro Scale and AMSTAR were used for the synthesis of quantitative research. In addition, the PRISMA method was followed to ensure the transparency and rigor of the review process. 183 articles were initially identified, however 18 were included in the review. As a result, it is shown that Kegel exercises and other techniques to strengthen the pelvic floor benefit by reducing urinary incontinence, especially in women during pregnancy and postpartum. Concluding that women who perform Kegel exercises in the postpartum stage will have a better quality of life.
