14. ANAL PROBE

14.1. CONDITIONS THAT MAY
BE TREATED
An anal probe, such as TesnCare X-
PR13 or X-AP can be purchased as an
accessory. These probes can be used
for urinary and faecal incontinence in
both males and females.
These anal probes may be used 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
progress towards graduated active
exercises, in order to improve pelvic
floor muscles' strength and endurance
and to regain function.

You may benefit from the Sure PRO if
you either have no active anal sphincter
contraction, or a weak or poorly
sustained contraction. Use the STRE 1
or STRE 2 programmes. Intensity
should be as strong as possible without
being painful. When possible, try to
the contract the muscles at the same time
as the Sure PRO.
Post
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
to the highest tolerable.
Erectile dysfunction
To help treating erectile dysfunction,
use the programme STRE 1, STRE 2,
PFW A or PFW B. This will help
strengthening the pelvic floor muscles
and achieve a more satisfying erection.
