It can prevent defects and damages to the pelvic functional structure, improve and treat urinary incontinence or fecal incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse; it can treat some symptoms such as inability to hold urine, frequent urination, nocturia, erectile dysfunction and pelvic pain. However, what are the taboos of pelvic floor rehabilitation electrical stimulation?

Pelvic floor rehabilitation electrical stimulation can develop a customized treatment plan based on comprehensive factors such as the patient's cause of disease, pathogenesis, electrophysiological changes, treatment requirements, and compliance.

The electrical stimulation of pelvic floor rehabilitation is not suitable for all patients. There are some taboos that need special attention:

1. During menstrual period or when the lochia of parturient women has not been cleaned up, it is strictly forbidden to use female vaginal equipment for related rehabilitation training;

2. If the pregnant woman has mental or psychological disorders or central nervous system diseases such as dementia or epilepsy, it is not suitable for pelvic floor rehabilitation electrical stimulation;

3. Patients with malignant tumors and active urogenital infections should not undergo pelvic floor rehabilitation electrical stimulation therapy.

4. Patients with pacemakers and those with wound infections, or pregnant women with a high risk of surgical scar rupture or other medical histories should consult relevant physicians before undergoing pelvic floor rehabilitation electrical stimulation and only start treatment after careful evaluation. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the scope of application and contraindications of pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy, and do not blindly carry out pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy.

Instruct patients to record their daily drinking and urination status, fill out the bladder function training form, purposefully delay the interval between urination, and eventually achieve urination once every 2.5-3 hours, so that patients can learn to delay urination by suppressing the inability to hold urine.
