15.2.6.3 Stress
incontinence
Stress incontinence means that the urine leak is caused by increased abdominal pressure during
physical activity. The pressure on the urethra is too great to resist. This problem primarily affects
women, usually due to a weakening of the perineal muscles.
One cause of stress incontinence can be poorly functioning perineal muscles. To help identify the
muscles, and to strengthen the perineal muscles, an intermittent stimulation of about 50 Hz
is ideal. The stimulation must be as strong as possible without being painful, and it’s helpful if the
patient participates actively in the muscle contractions. Treatment time: about 15 minutes, 3–5
times a week. We suggest that this training is combined with the patient’s own kegel exercises
