Is it okay to have intercourse with electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor muscle therapy?

Clinical electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles is indicated for women with stress urinary incontinence or weak contraction of the bladder muscles. Sexual intercourse is usually possible during the treatment period, because the rhythmic contraction and diastole of the pelvic floor muscles can also be stimulated during conjugal life, which helps to restore the tension of the pelvic floor muscles. Therefore, having sex while undergoing treatment does not affect the effectiveness of this electrical stimulation treatment, but also has a synergistic effect. It is recommended that patients should try to avoid the bad habits of staying up late, getting cold, drinking alcohol and spicy and stimulating diet during the treatment period, as these conditions can aggravate the relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles and have a counterproductive effect on the treatment. Also should try to avoid increasing abdominal pressure, such as prolonged riding, diving with breath held while swimming, lifting heavy objects or running and jumping, any exercise that increases abdominal pressure is a negative influence on the treatment.
