Authors' objectives:
Pelvic floor electrical stimulation involves the use of a nonimplantable electrode, which is often a vaginal or anal internal probe, and an external pulse generator that delivers variable rates of current through the pelvic floor. The goal of pelvic floor electrical stimulation is to stimulate the nerves involved in bladder and sphincter function and to strengthen pelvic floor musculature to decrease or eliminate urge, stress, and mixed forms of urinary incontinence.
