If you are able to obtain a referral to a physiotherapist who specialises in bladder and bowel incontinence, they can advise on specialist electrical devices that are inserted into the vagina or rectum which can help with incontinence caused by muscle weakness. They are hooked up to a control unit and deliver pulses of current which cause the chosen muscles to contract involuntarily. Used regularly, these can help strengthen the pelvic floor or rectal muscles to improve continence. They are especially helpful if you have muscle weakness or problems with initiating and/or releasing muscle contractions. If you can't voluntarily perform muscle contraction type exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor or rectum, these do the same sort of job for you.

These devices may not be suitable for everyone, of course, depending on the specific underlying cause(s) of any particular incontinence. However, for anyone where muscle weakness is a causal factor and its felt that improving muscle strength would give improvements, they can be helpful. The downside is that its a bit mortifying going through the assessment process and it is a distinctly odd sensation what they are operating!!!
