Question

I would like to ask a breif question regarding ghusl.

I am using a device called kegel 8 ultra plus http://www.kegel8.co.uk/ this is a device which is enters into the vagina an sends  pulses, i am using this device for medical purposes (weak bladder).
I have to use this device for around 6-8 weeks everyday, a session sometimes lasts for 45 mnutes, i would like to ask that would i need to do ghusl after using this machine? as during the day i sit to pray an try to pray my salaah, but after using this device im not sure if i need to do ghusl again or not.
Please could you advice me the correct answer.

We acknowledge receipt of your query and our response is as follows :

Usage of the device called kegel 8 ultra plus for medical purposes won’t break the Ghusl, if penetration of that device doesn’t cause any sexual desires which makes one to ejaculate.
