Electromagnetic pelvic floor muscle stimulation in Kyiv

Urinary incontinence, sudden urges to urinate, or a feeling of pelvic floor weakness can gradually affect a person’s usual way of life. They may begin avoiding running, intense workouts, long walks, or situations where a restroom is not readily available. However, these symptoms should not be regarded as an inevitable part of ageing or an unavoidable consequence of childbirth, age-related changes, or previous treatment. They should be discussed with a doctor so that an appropriate treatment strategy can be selected.

The procedure is performed in a specialised chair and does not require the patient to undress, undergo probe insertion, or experience tissue damage. During the session, the patient remains fully clothed and usually feels rhythmic contractions or pulsations in the pelvic floor area. A session lasts approximately 28-30 minutes, after which the patient can immediately return to their usual activities.

How electromagnetic stimulation works

The pelvic floor muscles support the pelvic organs and play an important role in bladder control. Their function may deteriorate after pregnancy and childbirth, surgery, age-related or hormonal changes, as well as when the muscles are underactive or function incorrectly. In some cases, a person may have difficulty sensing the pelvic floor muscles or performing the exercises correctly without professional guidance.

During the procedure, the device generates an electromagnetic field that passes through clothing and activates the nerve fibres responsible for muscle contraction. This produces intensive, repetitive contractions that would be difficult to achieve consciously within a short period of time. At the same time, electromagnetic stimulation should not be regarded as a universal substitute for pelvic floor exercises or other treatments.

The most appropriate approach depends on the type of incontinence, the severity of the symptoms, and their underlying cause. For some patients, supervised pelvic floor training may be sufficient. Others may benefit from combining exercises with device-based stimulation, while certain cases may require medication or surgery. Therefore, symptoms should be assessed and conditions requiring a different form of treatment should be ruled out before beginning the course.

When pelvic floor magnetic stimulation may be recommended

For women:

For men:

One of the main indications is stress urinary incontinence, which causes urine leakage when coughing, laughing, sneezing, running, jumping, or lifting heavy objects. These episodes are often associated with the pelvic floor muscles being unable to provide sufficient support quickly enough when intra-abdominal pressure increases. Following medical consultation, this technique may be considered as part of a conservative treatment programme.

Electromagnetic stimulation may also be used for urgency symptoms, when a sudden and intense urge to urinate is difficult to control, as well as for mixed urinary incontinence, which combines stress and urgency symptoms. However, in patients experiencing frequent urges, urinary tract infections, inflammatory conditions, bladder dysfunction, and other possible causes must first be ruled out.

The procedure may be recommended for functional pelvic floor weakness after the completion of postpartum recovery. It may also be recommended for men with impaired bladder control, including after treatment for prostate conditions. In each case, the decision is made individually, as identical symptoms may have different underlying causes.

Benefits of electromagnetic pelvic floor stimulation

The main advantage of electromagnetic stimulation is that it does not involve penetration of the body or tissue damage. The procedure requires no injections, anaesthesia, or special preparation, and there are no post-procedure restrictions associated with surgery. This makes the method convenient for people who wish to undergo treatment without taking an extended break from work or everyday activities.

The patient remains fully clothed throughout the session, which is particularly important for those who postpone seeking help because they feel embarrassed or uncomfortable discussing such a sensitive concern. The intensity is increased gradually according to the patient’s individual sensitivity. Normal sensations include rhythmic pulsations and muscle contractions accompanied by a pleasant feeling of warmth.

Another advantage is the ability to activate the muscles without the patient having to consciously maintain the correct exercise technique throughout the session. However, to preserve the results, the doctor may recommend additional exercises, changes to everyday habits, medically indicated weight management, or working with a pelvic floor physiotherapist.

How pelvic floor stimulation in a magnetic chair Is performed

Before the treatment course begins, the doctor will ask about the nature and duration of the symptoms, previous surgical procedures, implanted devices, and any coexisting medical conditions. If necessary, the patient may be advised to consult a gynaecologist or urologist or undergo additional examinations. This approach helps determine whether electromagnetic therapy is appropriate for the patient’s specific clinical situation.

During the procedure, the patient sits in the chair while wearing their usual clothing. The doctor helps them assume the correct position and gradually increases the pulse intensity until a comfortable therapeutic level is reached. Throughout the session, the patient may feel alternating muscle contractions and brief periods of relaxation.

No recovery time at the clinic or special home regimen is required after the session. The patient may return to work, drive, or resume their usual physical activities unless otherwise advised by the doctor. The number of procedures, the intervals between them, and the need for maintenance sessions are determined individually.

When results can be expected

The response to magnetic stimulation depends on the type of incontinence, the condition of the neuromuscular system, the severity of the symptoms, and any coexisting disorders. Some patients notice changes after the first session, while others require more time because muscle adaptation and improved control develop gradually.

A bladder diary can be used for objective monitoring. It should record the frequency of urges, leakage episodes, and the number of absorbent pads used. This makes it possible to assess progress more accurately than relying solely on an overall subjective impression.

Studies of electromagnetic pelvic floor stimulation have demonstrated promising results in reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.

Contraindications to electromagnetic stimulation

The procedure is not performed in the following cases:

Протипоказання

Pregnancy.
The presence of a pacemaker, an implantable defibrillator, a neurostimulator, an insulin pump, or other electronic devices.
Metal structures or implants in the treatment area may also be a contraindication, depending on their composition and location.
Oncological, neurological, and acute inflammatory diseases.
Recent operations.
Bleeding of unknown origin.
Exacerbations of chronic conditions.
Sudden leakage accompanied by symptoms such as pain, a burning sensation, blood in the urine, fever, or changes in sensation.

If the leakage occurred suddenly and is accompanied by pain, a burning sensation, blood in the urine, a fever, or changes in sensation, you should not begin treatment without a medical examination. In such cases, the first priority is to determine the cause of the symptoms.

Frequently asked questions about electromagnetic pelvic floor stimulation

What is electromagnetic pelvic floor stimulation?

Electromagnetic stimulation is a non-invasive device-based procedure in which electromagnetic pulses stimulate the nerves and muscles of the pelvic floor. This causes repeated muscle contractions that may help improve muscle tone, coordination, and bladder control. The procedure is performed in a specialised chair without the patient having to undress or undergo probe insertion.

Can magnetic stimulation help with urinary incontinence?

Studies indicate that magnetic stimulation may reduce the symptoms of stress, urgency, and mixed urinary incontinence in some patients. The outcome depends on the cause and severity of the condition, the state of the pelvic floor muscles, and completion of the recommended treatment course. The method does not guarantee complete resolution of symptoms and may be combined with exercises, physiotherapy, or other treatments when necessary.

What happens during a magnetic chair treatment?

The patient sits in a specialised chair while remaining fully clothed. The device generates a pulsed magnetic field that causes rhythmic contractions of the pelvic floor muscles. The patient may feel vibrations and pleasant warmth. A session lasts approximately 28-30 minutes, does not require anaesthesia, and usually does not restrict activity afterwards.

How many electromagnetic stimulation sessions are required?

The number of sessions is determined individually according to the symptoms, the initial condition of the muscles, and the patient’s response to treatment. A course usually consists of 3, 5, 7, or 10 procedures, performed once every 2-7 days.

Who should not undergo electromagnetic stimulation?

The procedure is generally not performed during pregnancy or in patients with a pacemaker, implanted electronic devices, or certain metal structures in the treatment area. Restrictions may also apply to patients with acute inflammatory conditions, cancer, neurological disorders, or other medical conditions. A consultation with a gynaecologist or urologist is required before starting the treatment course.
