Electrostimulation of pelvic floor muscles is a method
of treatment of urinary incontinence, at which we
administer a small quantity of electric
current with a precalculated frequency and
intensity, to the pelvic floor
musculature.
This way we achieve
two main aims:
a. the strengthening of pelvic floor muscles
b.
improvement of patient's realization of the position and
function of pelvic floor muscles
This method is useful in patients suffering from:
1.
Stress Urinary Incontinence
2.
Urge Urinary Incontinence
3.
Dyspareunia
4.
Difficulty in the urination
5.
Interstitial
cystitis
6.
Dysmenorrhoea
7.
Chronic Prostatitis
The Electrostimulation of pelvic floor muscles is
possible with
with the help of a special device
, and from the
specifically trained Doctor or other provider. For the excitation is used
a specifically modified electric current (which of course
is harmless), electrodes
,
or for female use vaginal cones
.
Electrostimulation of pelvic floor muscles is a
good method for the conservative treatment of the
aforementioned diseases, and has as a prerequisite a
motivated patient, and a “team approach” between doctor
and patient.
