A method and apparatus for stimulating the pelvic floor muscles of patients, each on both sides of the pelvic region of the body of the patient in (each side), and applying externally one electrode, and energy to the electrode at least wherein the step of flowing (muscular stimulation current) muscle stimulation currents giving, across the patient through the pelvic floor of the patient, to include. The preferred plurality of electrodes, may be applied symmetrically on both sides of the body. Electrodes can be incorporated into clothing.患者の骨盤底筋を刺激する方法及び装置であって、前記患者の身体の骨盤領域内の両側の各々(each side)に、少なくとも1つの電極を外部的に適用する工程と、前記電極にエネルギーを与えて、前記患者の骨盤底を通って患者を横切る筋肉刺激電流(muscular stimulation current)を流す工程と、含むことを特徴とする。複数の電極が、身体の両側に対称的に適用されるのが好ましい。電極は衣服に組み込むことができる。
