What Are the Types of Electrical Stimulation Used in Gynecology?
1. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS): This involves placing electrodes on the skin to deliver electrical impulses. TENS is often used for pain relief and muscle stimulation. 2. Intravaginal Electrical Stimulation: Specially designed probes are inserted into the vagina to directly target the pelvic floor muscles. This method is highly effective for treating urinary incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction. 3. Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES): This technique targets both nerves and muscles, providing a comprehensive approach to pelvic floor rehabilitation.
