Almost 50% of women and men over 25 years old are affected by pelvic organ dysfunctions (e.g. incontinence, sexual disorders, pelvic pains) for a shorter or longer period of time. These conditions may significantly spoil the quality of life (and even the relationship), this is why their thorough examination is very important!
Although more specialties (urology, neurology, gynaecology, proctology) may be involved, most frequently a comprehensive urological examination can identify the cause of the problem. Conservative treatments or the possibly necessary surgery may be carried out earlier if we have the accurate diagnosis.
The magnetic stimulation treatment is an up-to-date treatment method of pelvic floor muscles dysfunction with no side effects. The therapeutic device transmits highly focused pulsed magnetic fields, thus stimulating the nerves encompassing the muscles in the pelvis to about 8 cm depth. These muscular contractions will exercise the pelvic and vaginal muscles of impaired function.
The magnetic stimulation treatment may be recommended both for women and men for treating the following conditions, problems:
-
Several types of urinary incontinence (stress, urge, mixed)
-
Fecal incontinence
-
For improvement of vaginal tone after giving birth vaginally
-
For strenghtening the pelvic floor muscles after a cesarean section
-
Prevention: for strenghtening the pelvic muscles prior to pregnancy
-
Prostate diseases
-
Incontinence after prostate surgery
-
Female orgasmic disorder
-
Male potency disorders, ejaculation disorders
-
Pelvic pain syndrome
Only our urologist specialist may decide on the applicability of the therapy. After revealing the cause of the problem he takes into consideration the severity of the disease and the possible concomitant diseases in order to assess the efficiency of the treatment.

The treatment
During the treatment the patient is sitting fully dressed in a comfortable chair, while he only feels vibration and intensive, rhythmic contractions of his pelvic floor muscles. Nothing will be connected to the patient, the magnetic field under the treatment chair seat makes effect to diseased tissues through the clothes.
Hearty meals should be avoided 2 hours before the treatment!
PATIENTS MUST NOT EAT OR DRINK WHILE SITTING IN THE CHAIR!
PATIENT SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY METAL OBJECTS OR ELECTRICAL DEVICES DURING THE TREATMENT.
The following magnetically sensitive objects and devices may be placed in remote parts of the room during the treatment:
-
spectacles, pen, money, hairclips
-
magnetic card, credit card, access card
-
wristwatch, mobile phone, smartphone, tablet, laptop, pendrive, memory card
-
remote control for car, MP3/4/5/6 players
-
magnetic key, cases with magnetic lock
-
hearing aid; removable dentures including metal; piercing.
Please make sure that during the treatment you wear clothing and accessories (jewelry, shoe ornaments, belt buckle, button, bra clasps and wires) with no metal parts; or rather we kindly recommend to take an appropriate extra clothing.
The course of treatment generally lasts for 6 to 8 weeks, 3 treatments per week are recommended. In some cases final recovery may be expected, but in certain cases periodic repetition of treatments may be necessary.
Please take into consideration that, during the course of treatment (due to the loosened tissues) you should conduct gentle lifestyle and avoid any strenuous work.
