- label
- post prostatectomy incontinence
- description
- Twenty-seven patients who underwent radical prostatectomy with a mean age of 67.90 ± 3.40, and who had continuous UI complaints, were included in the study.
- interventionNames
- Device: HIFEM
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- This study demonstrated the safe and effective use of HIFEM technology to prevent PPI by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles in a variety of patients.
- timeFrame
- One month.
- description
- The average International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form score was calculated before and after the treatment. Their average "pads used per day" was calculated before and after the treatment. The scores and pads' numbers were compared statistically.
