Incontinence Therapy

Incontinence is a far common problem, which concerns older persons as well as young people. The causes of incontinence are variously, often a combination of several factors.

Electrical stimulation can be applied with the following types of Incontinence:

Stress incontinence means that the group of muscle that belongs to the closing mechanism are not fully functionable. When pressure rises (e.g. through sneezing, coughing, laughing or physical exertion) the loss of urine will occure even without micturition. The cause is a weakening of the pelvic muscle which can result from either weakness of the connective tissue, births or prostats surgery.
Urge incontinence means that the closing mechanism of the bladder and urethra are mostly functioning. Often it comes to extrude movements of the bladder, which cannot surpressed through mind power. One speaks of a hyper active bladder muscle. Micturition is uncontrollable and the pressure of the bladder increases to the point, that the resistance of the healthy muscular closing system will be overcome. Possible causes are disorder of the superior nervous system.
A mixed form of stress and urge incontinence means that the cause lies with the weakness of the muscular closing system as well as a hyperactive bladder muscle.
Faecal incontinence means a disorder of the function of the sphinkter anus externus. A controlled discharge of bowel contents is not possible anymore. The causes for the functioning disorder of the sphinkter anus externus are manifold.
