The radiofrequency application protocol with CAPENERGY device, which has two electrodes: an active one, which will be introduced into the anal region, using a condom and gel to The emission of radiofrequency and another electrode, dispersive, coupled to the patient's hip, which will function as earth. The temperature used in the treatment will be 41 ° C, which this parameter will be placed in the equipment, maintained for 2 minutes. Five RF sessions will be performed, with a seven-day interval between them. For the application, participants will be placed in lateral decubitus position. The session will be quick, with an average duration of 20 minutes.Kinesiotherapy will be done once a week, totaling five sessions. Initially, verbal information about location, function, and the correct way to contract the pelvic floor (PA) will be given.
The patient will be in lateral decubitus, the anal probe of the radiofrequency apparatus will be introduced, with the gel previously heated. The radio frequency will be off. Kinesiotherapy will be done once a week, totaling five sessions. Initially, verbal information about location, function, and the correct way to contract the pelvic floor (PA) will be given. In addition, at this point will be advised on the performance of "The Knack", which is a pre-contraction of the PA during the performance of some abdominal effort such as coughing, sneezing or laughing.
