Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field on Female Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). Forty multiparous women were participated in this study and randomly divided into two equal groups; group A, received PEMF two times per week with pelvic floor exercises, group B, received pelvic floor exercises only.Their ages ranged between 30 to 40 years old, They were selected from the Outpatient Clinic of Gynecology of Al Mataria Teaching Hospital. Evaluations of both groups (A & B) were done before starting and after the end of the study(8weeks) through measuring their squeeze vaginal pressure using biofeedback and measuring scores of urogenital distress inventory questionnaire-short form (UDI-6). Results of this study showed a statistically significant increase in the mean value of squeeze vaginal pressure in both groups (A&B) favoring group (A). There was a statistical significant decrease in the mean value of (UDI-6) in both groups (A,B) favoring group (A). There was a negative (an inverse) significant correlation between difference in squeeze vaginal pressure and difference in urogenital distress inventory questionnaire (UDI-6) in all patients. Conclusion , Pulsed electromagnetic field is an alternative, effective, safe, non-invasive and painless treatment method for treatment of female stress urinary incontinence |
