Stress incontinence It is involuntary leakage of urine, from the urethra and such leakage occurs on sudden rise of intraabdominal pressure, as in coughing, laughing, sneezing, straining, or any other physical activities, when the intravesical pressure exceeds the maximum urethral pressure in the absence of detrusor contraction.

Urge incontinence By using acute maximal stimulation through a vaginal and an anal electrode with current frequency from 5-10 Hz for 20 minutes. The current intensity varied from 5-80 mA on the rectal electrode and from mA on the vaginal electrode. For 6 to 14 treatments are given with 2-3 sessions a week.

The maximal electrical stimulation may inhibit spontaneous detrusor contractions by normalizing the disturbed balance between cholinergic and adrenergic neurotransmission.
