13.5. AFTER YOUR TRAINING
SESSION
When the timer reaches zero, your
session is complete and the unit turns
off.
1) Check that the control unit is off. If it
is not, hold down the OFF button to
switch off then remove the probe
from your vagina by holding the
positioning end rim and gently pulling
outwards.
If you are using the pointer, detach
this first before removing the probe.
2) Wash and thoroughly dry the probe
and return it to the storage pouch.
3) The perfect PFE will not only
improve your pelvic floor muscles but
also help you to recognise the
correct sensation you need to feel
when doing your Kegel exercises
(explained in section 4.2.).
Note: When removing the
probe, DO NOT PULL ON THE
LEAD WIRE.
14. ANAL PROBE
14.1. CONDITIONS THAT MAY
BE TREATED
An anal probe such as TensCare X-
PR13 can be purchased. This probe
can be used for urinary and faecal
incontinence in both males and
females.
This anal probe may be used to treat
Urinary and Faecal Incontinence in a
similar way to the vaginal probe.
Because the stimulation cannot be
restricted to one muscle group, and the
mucosal tissue has different electrical
characteristics, anal stimulation is less
comfortable than vaginal.
You should consult your healthcare
professional before starting treatment.
Faecal Incontinence
Faecal incontinence can be the result of
weakened or poorly functioning anal
sphincter muscles or damage to the
nerves controlling them. The purpose is
to re-educate the anal sphincter and
other muscles of the pelvic floor to
contract. The treatments aim to
progress towards graduated active
exercises, in order to improve pelvic
floor muscle
s’ strength and endurance
and to regain function.
You may benefit from the perfect PFE
if you either have no active anal
sphincter contraction, or a weak or
poorly sustained contraction. Use the
STRES or TONE programmes.
Intensity should be as strong as
possible without being painful. When
possible, try to contract the muscles at
the same time as the
perfect PFE .
Post Prostatectomy Urinary
Incontinence
Electrical stimulation has been found to
help urinary incontinence in men after
radical prostatectomy in some trials.
Use the same programmes as for
vaginal stimulation. Increase intensity
in
STRES , MIXED , or TONE
programmes to the highest tolerable.
