TensCare Pelvic Floor Exerciser + Go Gel - Water Based Lubricant

Product Description Be free to live an active life. One in four women experiences a degree of incontinence after giving birth, and anyone can suffer from the condition at any time of their lives. Despite this prevalence, it can be debilitating, embarrassing, unpleasant and seldom discussed, and very few sufferers seek any sort of treatment or help. However, this common condition can be easily treated. Physiotherapists and doctors recommend pelvic floor exercises to help improve levels of continence, but often these are not enough on their own, and it is very difficult to know exactly which muscles need to be exercised--in some cases the muscles may be so weak that they are unable to perform simple movements in the first place. Some women are unable to voluntarily exercise the pelvic floor muscle themselves and require assistance. This is when the itouch sure is required, playing a vital role in locating and exercising the muscle for you. The itouch Sure is the ideal way to build up strength in the pelvic floor, and results can be seen in as little as a few weeks. The itouch Sure unit uses gentle electrotherapy to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles into regaining their strength and flexibility. Using a vaginal probe, it delivers electrical impulses which target the correct location. The pulses are not painful, but produce a mild tingling sensation. Best of all, itouch Sure does not have any side-effects, requires no drugs, and can reduce or even eliminate the need for surgery. Do NOT use the “itouch Sure” under the following circumstances: • If you have a heart pacemaker or a heart rhythm problem • If any discomfort occurs when inserting the probe, consult your physician or Continence Advisor before use • If you have been diagnosed or treated for cervical cancer • If you have, or have had, epilepsy • If you are pregnant The itouch Sure is not suitable for use during pregnancy. After the birth of your baby we recommend you begin to use the itouch Sure only when you feel you are ready and not before your six-week postpartum check-up.

Do You Suffer From Incontinence? Incontinence is a medical condition that causes involuntary and uncontrollable loss of urine from the bladder (urinary incontinence). It can also apply to bowel movements or wind from the bowel (faecal or bowel incontinence). It varies in its severity, from a slight leak to total loss of control of the bladder or bowel which can be extremely embarrassing in a social situation. It can happen through simple everyday activities such as lifting something; sometimes it can happen following a cough, laugh or sneeze. New mums can also benefit from using itouch Sure because after a woman gives birth, the pelvic floor muscles can become affected. Stress Incontinence This is leakage of urine on exertion or effort, which could be through coughing or sneezing. This is often caused by the sphincter muscles not functioning properly. It can also happen during sex which can be extremely embarrassing. Urge Incontinence The sudden leakage of urine or overwhelming urge to urinate without being able to stop. This can sometimes be caused through stress and anxiety and be caused through bladder infections but is often down to a neurological problem such as dementia, stroke, multiple sclerosis or injury to the spinal cord. Mixed Incontinence Involuntary bladder emptying with the uncontrollable urge to urinate caused through any kind of exertion or stress on the body, i.e. laughing, coughing, sneezing etc. Box Contains 1 x itouch Sure pelvic floor exerciser // 2 x 1.5 V AA batteries // 1 x lead wire // 1 x vaginal probe
