Objectives

To study the objective and subjective effectiveness of transvaginal electrical stimulation for treatment of female pure genuine stress incontinence.

Patients and methods

This was a multicenter prospective trial including 207 patients with genuine stress incontinence who used the stimulator for 10 weeks. Similar pre-treatment and post-treatment assessments included both validated symptom severity index and health-related quality of life.

Results

Objective evaluation showed a significant improvement in 65.7%of subjects with stress incontinence. All domains of quality of life improved significantly after treatment (P = 0.0001) and rate of satisfactory was 84.7%. There were no statistical differences between the two stimulators.

Discussion and conclusion

Pelvic floor electrical stimulation seems to be effective in treating female genuine stress incontinence and could be considered first-line therapy.
