Experience of application of the method of high-intensity focused electromagnetic therapy in the complex treatment of stress urine continuity in women

Abstract

Background. The article presents the results of applying the method of high-intensity focused electromagnetic therapy in the complex treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women.

Aim. To study and scientifically use the method of high-intensity focused electromagnetic therapy in the complex treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women. Research Objective: To study the effect of high-intensity focused electromagnetic therapy on the manifestations of urinary incontinence by assessing the ability of urinary retention (by the number of absorbent pads used) and quality of life according to the questionnaire of the International Council of Urinary Incontinence (ICIQ-SF) in women with stress urinary incontinence.

Methods. The study included 40 women whose average age was 53.6 ± 4.8 years with stress incontinence; the disease duration was 5.6 ± 1.1 years, which were divided into 2 groups comparable by clinical and functional characteristics, the main — 20 patients who underwent a course of WIFEM therapy, consisting of 6−7 procedures, which were carried out 2−3 once a week, the duration of each procedure was 28 minutes and the control ― 20 patients who underwent a course of exercises according to Kegel, daily, for a course of

20 lessons.

Results. As a result of the study, it was shown that high-intensity focused electromagnetic therapy has a pronounced myostimulating effect on the pelvic floor muscles in women with stress urinary incontinence, which helps to strengthen control over urinary retention, a significant reduction and even complete disappearance of symptoms of urinary incontinence, and an increase in the psycho-emotional background and quality of life in general, as evidenced by a test to determine the amount of absorbent pads used and questionnaire data and for urinary incontinence (ICIQ-SF).

Conclusion. High-intensity focused electromagnetic therapy has a pronounced myostimulating effect on the pelvic floor muscles in women with stress urinary incontinence, which contributes to increased control over urinary retention, a significant decrease or even complete disappearance of symptoms of incontinence, as well as an increase in psycho-emotional background and quality of life in general.
