In the electrical therapy electrodes are transmitted via electrical impulses. The closer the electrodes on the pudendal nerve, bladder, genitals and rectum Powers, the more effective is the effect. This is best achieved through electrodes that are inserted through the vagina or anus.
The muscles are stimulated to contract.
By electric stimulation causes the pelvic floor muscles to contract, or contracts. This is a "pelvic floor exercises" conducted by quasi-electrode. The muscles are trained so hard that its thickness increases and it will be better supplied by nerves. Thus, the ability to contract the pelvic floor muscles and bladder sphincter is improved.
Electrotherapy can be used in isolation or in combination with other therapies.
Can be applied electric therapy in combination with other therapies, or alone. In both cases it is effective. Manual voiding dysfunction and urinary incontinence in the quality of the Society for Incontinence Help eV following applications are indicated for the electrotherapy:
Low-frequency current:
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) 10-100 Hz application in sensory urge incontinence, urethral syndrome, irritable bladder.
10-20 Hz short-term stimulation. Application in idiopathic (motor) urge incontinence.
Long-term 50 Hz stimulation. Application of stress incontinence.
10-20/50 Hz stimulation. Application of stress and urge incontinence.
Medium-frequency current:
Interference current. Application of stress and / or urge urinary incontinence (especially in the elderly).
High frequency current:
Shortwave, microwave. Application to improve blood circulation, general relaxation and easing of the detrusor-sphincter area.
2 / 3 of those affected will benefit from electrical therapy.
With urge and mixed incontinence is achieved at 1 / 3 of those affected a cure, at 1 / 3 and a marked improvement in the remaining third did not improve. For stress incontinence improved in half of affected people is expected.
Contraindications must be considered.
May not be applied electrical stimulation at:
Menstruation and spotting
Pregnancy
Fibroids tend to grow
Urinary retention
Urinary Tract Infections
Urogenitalfistel
serious heart rhythm disturbances
Metal implants in the application area
Pacemakers
