How 'Ems' Works - TensCare Sure+ Bedienungsanleitung

• The bleeding becomes heavier than
previously.
• Vaginal discharge.
• Pain during sex.
• Pain in your back passage (rectum).
Secondary dysmenorrhoea may occur
as a result of:
• Endometriosis/adenomyosis.
• Pelvic inflammatory disease.
• Fibroids when it is often associated
with heavy menstrual bleeding.
• Adhesions.
• Developmental abnormalities.
Consult your healthcare professional if
you are experiencing any of the above
symptoms.

7. HOW 'EMS' WORKS

E.M.S. stands for Electrical Muscle
Stimulation and has successfully been
used in medical rehabilitation and
training in competitive sports. EMS
produces intensive
muscular contraction.
In rehabilitation, EMS is a well-
established method for treatment of a
broad field of
diagnoses as well as pelvic floor
weakness. Electrical stimulation of an
intact peripheral nervous system may
create motor responses in patients with
impaired or lost ability for voluntary
muscle activity.
EMS is a complement to other physical
therapy and should
combined with active training such as
Kegel exercises (see section 4.2.).

Advantages of EMS
Use of EMS may lead to faster progress
in the patient's treatment programme.
The method is simple and appropriate
for treatment in the clinical setting as
well as for self-treatment at home.
How EMS Works
Electrical Muscle Stimulators can play a
vital role in educating women and men
about their pelvic
sensation they should feel when doing
pelvic floor exercises. Electrical Pelvic
Floor Exercisers (PFE) offer a non-
invasive method
contraction of muscles via a gentle
stimulation to the pelvic floor through a
discreet probe or electrode pads when
they are placed close to the nerve that
controls the pelvic floor muscles. This
current then passes into the nerve
fibres controlling that part of the muscle
stimulating it to contract. So, electrical
stimulation (EMS) artificially activates a
muscle for you enabling you to develop
your own muscle
contractions exercise the muscles and,
as with any kind of exercise if
performed regularly, build strength and
tone.
In urge incontinence, pelvic floor
exercisers work in a slightly different
way. The electrical stimulation is
designed to soothe your bladder
muscles rather than exercise your
pelvic floor. Sure+ uses a gentler, low
frequency setting
release of endorphins and reduces
involuntary contractions of the bladder
(detrusor) muscle.
Different frequencies have different
effects; low frequencies (1-10 Hz)
coupled with long impulse times, for
floor and the
of producing
control. These
