Improving Male Pelvic Health: Efficacy of HIFEM Muscle Stimulation for Urinary Function and Sexual Dysfunction in Men
Author(s): Judson Brandeis*
Background: Male Urinary Incontinence (UI) and Erectile Dysfunction (ED) significantly impact men's well-being, with UI prevalence experiencing a marked increase in recent years. While traditionally studied in women, UI's prevalence among men, particularly those over 60, has notably risen. UI types, such as urgency, mixed, and stress incontinence, often coincide with ED affecting the quality of life and overall sexual health.
Objective: This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of the HIFEM procedure in improving male urinary function and erectile dysfunction. HIFEM, a novel non-invasive approach, targets pelvic floor muscles, focusing on intensifying and enhancing muscular contractions beyond traditional exercise modalities.
Methods: This pilot study involved 28 men, aged between 27 and 72 years, w.. View More»
