Electromagnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles

Extracorporeal pelvic floor muscle stimulation is used for the treatment, rehabilitation of the urogenital area, solving several common problems. The method allows you to achieve intimate rejuvenation, strengthening the muscles that support the organs of the small pelvis, perineum. As a result of exposure, the sensitivity of the genital organs, neuromuscular control of the bladder increases, which significantly improves the quality lives of women and men, improves overall health.

The essence of the method

The treatment is based on a patented technology of non-invasive exposure to a magnetic field of certain power and focus. The device myostimulator for the muscles of the pelvic floor projects high-intensity radiation on the perineum, pelvis, organs of the lower abdomen, stimulating the muscles. This leads to a very strong impulse reduction.

As a result of exposure to discrete impulses, muscle fibers are trained, which helps to increase their tone and elasticity. The muscular frame of the pelvis better supports the internal structures, eliminates organ prolapse.

Magnetic field stimulation also performs neuromodulation of the region of the lower part of the spinal cord, from where the nerve roots that innervate the genitourinary organs exit. Thus, not only the strengthening of the supporting frame is achieved, but also the activation of nerve pathways that help the brain control the process of urination, increasing sensitivity during orgasm.

Pelvic floor magnetic stimulation device

Different manufacturers of medical equipment make a physiotherapeutic myostimulator for intimate muscles in the form of a chair, in the base of which an electromagnetic inductor is mounted. The device has a power supply, a transformer, a tablet to control the operation of the device.

The maximum value of the induction of magnetic pulses at the seat surface reaches 0.5 T. The frequency can be set in values from 1 to 50 Hz with a resolution of 1 Hz. It is also possible to set the time of a therapeutic session from 1 minute to 1 hour.

Manipulation is completely painless, since the strength of discrete impulses is sufficient to stimulate nerve muscle fibers, which causes them to alternately contract and relax, but not enough to irritate pain receptors in tissues.

Features of the procedure

Electromagnetic stimulation is carried out using a special chair. This is a safe method that does not require any special training. This procedure has the following features:

  • There are no electrodes, probes, gels or pastes.
  • No need to undress.
  • Exposure to electromagnetic rays - no physical interference.
  • Ultimate patient comfort

Very weak muscles get tired quickly. If such a muscle works for a certain time, it will need twice the time spent working to recover. For example, if stimulation lasts 5 seconds, you need 10 seconds for the muscle to relax before the next phase. This is a very important point, which must be taken into account when operating the device.

Electromagnetic pelvic floor muscle stimulation devices have a set of programs for patients with various problems and various muscle parameters. Ideally, stimulation time should increase slowly over several weeks. It is on this principle that prevention and therapy are based - the load (stimulation) time gradually increases from session to session.

Stimulation is part of the process of prevention, treatment or rehabilitation. Specialized chairs are always used under the supervision of a specialized specialist, although this device is almost completely safe.

Indications for the procedure

The therapy is indicated for women and men who are concerned about the failure of the muscles of the genitourinary region. This can be associated with such unpleasant symptoms as impaired control of urination, defecation, ptosis of the urethra, rectum, sexual dysfunction, chronic pelvic pain.

Muscular dysfunction often occurs under the influence of age factors, less often due to individual physiological characteristics.

82% of patients with impaired function of the muscular structures of the pelvis are women over 65 years of age, sometimes women of childbearing age after multiple births, abortions, with excess or deficiency of body weight, physical inactivity.

In men, dysfunction of the muscular apparatus occurs due to excessive loads during hard physical work, some sports. Provoking factors influencing the development of pathology are smoking, physical inactivity, obesity, constipation.

Indications for women for pelvic floor muscle therapy with a myostimulator:

  • Incontinence of feces, urine; enuresis, encopresis.
  • Chronic pain syndrome.
  • Prolapse, prolapse of the uterus. Ptosis of the walls of the vagina, ureters, bladder, kidneys, ampulla of the rectum.
  • Rectal sphincter incompetence
  • Inflammatory processes of the urinary organs.
  • Poor lymphatic drainage of this area, impaired tissue trophism.
  • Postpartum, age-related changes with omission, lethargy of structures.
  • Adhesive disease.

Physiotherapy treatment is also indicated for sexual dysfunctions, lack of orgasm, lack of sensation during intimacy.

Indications for training the pelvic floor muscles of men:

  • Incontinence, feces, enuresis, encopresis.
  • Chronic inflammation of the prostate.
  • Erectile dysfunction.
  • Early ejaculation during intercourse.
  • Chronic pain syndrome.
  • Small stones in the lower part of the ureter.

The pelvic muscles maintain the internal structures in an anatomically correct position, help manage the processes of urination, defecation, maintain the ability of men and women to have a healthy sex life.

A stabilized pelvis affects the state of posture, spine, position of internal organs, pressure in the abdominal cavity. It is based on reflex mechanisms, which, when the muscle structures are weakened, also lose their strength. Training is best done with a pelvic floor muscle stimulator.

Contraindications

There are a number of situations in which the use of this method is impractical or prohibited. Before prescribing, the doctor evaluates all indications, contraindications, weighs the risks. Before therapy, the patient may be assigned an additional examination.

Magnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles is contraindicated in:

  • Pregnancy, suspected pregnancy.
  • Oncological diseases.
  • Benign, malignant tumors (for example, fibroids from 16 weeks).
  • Implanted electronic devices: pacemaker, insulin pump, pacemaker, endoprosthesis of the middle ear.
  • Metal structures in the body: endoprostheses, artificial heart valve, Ilizarov apparatus, knitting needles, plates.
  • Acute inflammation, infections of the urogenital area.
  • Exacerbation of chronic diseases, fever, elevated body temperature.
  • Metal IUD.
  • Tendency to bleeding, impaired hemostasis, the need for constant use of anticoagulants.
  • Cardiovascular, renal, multiple organ failure.
  • Epilepsy.
  • The period of menstruation in women.
  • Hemorrhoids 2-4 stages, varicose veins of the small pelvis, the risk of thrombosis, paraproctitis.

Electromagnetic stimulation is much more effective than a contact vaginal muscle stimulator for women or an anal pelvic floor muscle stimulator for men. However, before prescribing the method, the doctor must exclude all possible contraindications so as not to cause health complications.

How is the procedure, treatment course

The method of magnetic electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles is completely non-contact, so it is carried out without the use of electrodes, internal sensors. Before the session, no additional preparation is required, you only need to empty the bladder, rectum in a natural way.

Phones, computers, tablets, magnetic disks, memory cards should not fall into the impact zone in order to avoid their damage. Gadgets, electronic devices should be left in a special place for preparation. It is also necessary to leave bank cards, watches, electronic bracelets, headphones, cameras there.

After verifying personal data, getting acquainted with the medical direction, the physiotherapist invites the patient to the apparatus.

Session algorithm:

  1. The patient is seated in a special chair. Feet should be placed with the stop on the floor.
  2. The medical worker sets the mode and exposure time on the remote control.
  3. The machine turns on. During the procedure, you can not get up, cross your legs, change the position of the body. You need to save the original position.

The average duration of a session of therapy with an electrical stimulator for the muscles of the pelvic floor is 15-20 minutes. During it there will be no pain, discomfort. The patient will feel muscle contractions in the pelvis, perineum. For some time, a pleasant warmth will be felt in this area - a sign that physiotherapy has done a good job.

Frequency, number of procedures depend on individual health indicators. On average, 5-15 sessions are enough in 1-2 days. In some clinical cases, electromagnetic myostimulation is continued after the course for one to two months, 1 session per week.

The effect of using an electromyostimulator on the pelvic floor muscles

Hardware stimulation of the muscle structures of the pelvis using electromagnetic fields is completely non-invasive and safe, if the warnings about contraindications are not violated. The course of procedures eliminates the problems associated with involuntary urination, helps in the treatment of inflammatory, adhesive processes of the urogenital area.

The advantages of using a magnetic device to strengthen the intimate muscles, pelvic muscles:

  • Does not require the use of electrodes, gel, additional sensors in the body.
  • The patient does not need to take off their clothes.
  • No invasive manipulations.
  • Painless.
  • Comfortable position during sessions.
  • No preparation required.

It has a more pronounced effect than the electrode myostimulator for the muscles of the vagina, physiotherapy stimulators with anal or overhead electrodes for the prostate.

The results may appear after the first sessions or at the end of the treatment course, this process is individual.

Result of treatment:

  • Pain relief.
  • Improve the quality of sexual life.
  • Achieving control over the processes of urination, defecation.

The course of stimulation also has a general healing effect on the body, normalizing the menstrual cycle in women, returning sexual function to men and women.

Numerous reviews of the simulator for the pelvic floor muscles based on the electromagnetic field allow us to conclude that the therapeutic effect is effective in case of age-related changes. The method is widely used in urology, neurology, gynecology for the correction and prevention of the most common problems. Electrical stimulation with magnets treats pathological conditions of insufficiency of the muscular diaphragm, which forms the base of the pelvis.
