I have steel rods in back can I still use E-Stim?

I'm curious about it. I want to try but have steel rods in back. Could I still use it safely?

NO NO NO NO NO

You do not want to use electric stimulation in your rectum. Vagina yes, rectum no.

Well, it depends on where the rods are. If they are in your lower back, I would stay away from rectal electrodes. If they are in the thoracic region, you would be OK.

The rectal / anal electrodes can get very close to the spine and nerves that exit the spinal cord depending on how deeply you insert the electrodes. Electrical conduction near the rods could cause severe neurological injury--maybe not immediately, but over time.

Depends on how long the rods are and where they go. They could conduct electric current to different parts of your spine that you don't want to pass electricity through.

It is probably safe to do e-stim as long as the electrodes are not placed near those steel rods or on different sides of them such that the electricity passes up or down the steel rods as it passes between the electrodes.
