• Pregnancy – Effect on foetal development is not known 
• Bladder or vaginal infection, or recent surgical scar – Probe insertion may aggravate infection 
• With a history of carcinoma at the site of stimulation – Laboratory tests show that electrical stimulation may enhance cell division 

Caution is advised 

• On patients with altered or reduced tissue sensation – Excessive stimulation may cause tissue inflammation 
• If the user has a history of epilepsy – Use of electrical stimulation may lower seizure threshold 
•  If the user has a severe prolapse – Introduction of the probe, or muscle contraction, could damage the prolapsed tissue.
