There are two openings in men: one to allow the urethra to pass through on its way from the bladder to the penis and the other at the anus. Male incontinence may be caused by a range of serious health issues. If you are unsure of the cause of your incontinence we strongly advise that you speak to your doctor. Once it is confirmed that weakened muscles are the cause (or even the partial cause) of your leakage problem, then InControl may be of significant help. The functions of the pelvic floor are numerous and important. Supporting the organs situated directly above - prostate, bladder, rectum and seminal glands Regulating continence, by opening and closing the urethra and anus Muscle stimulation for strength, control, stability and performance Playing an essential role in sexual function - a strong, supple pelvic floor enhances sexual response, improves performance and heightens the sense of pleasure The pelvic floor is the centre of gravity in your frame - as part of your core muscles it makes a fundamental contribution to movement, back strength and stability Making an essential contribution to core strength. If you have read this far you will realize that the pelvic floor has an extensive array of muscles and connective tissues, and is richly endowed with blood vessels and nerves, making it highly responsive to assisted exercise using electrical stimulation. It is also important to remember that the bladder detrusor and the internal sphincters are all smooth or involuntary muscle and cannot respond to manual exercise. Electrical stimulation is the only external way to stimulate the nerve fibres supplying these muscles. The perineum anatomy determines the best location for electrode placement for all of the above applications - incontinence, support, stability and sexual performance. It is not desirable or necessary to stimulate the muscles directly.
