Acceptance of Pelvic Floor Electrical Stimulation (PFES)

The EmbaGYN Pelvic Floor Exerciser produces a mild electrical stimulation. It exercises and strengthens the muscles of the pelvic floor by sending a gentle electrical pulse through the EmbaGYN trainer. The proprietary waveform and frequency of this pulse assists patients in exercising their pelvic floor. In time, this helps regain muscle control, improve your symptoms and minimize leakage. Pelvic floor electrical stimulation is a well accepted method of treatment for urinary incontinence.

Doctors and medical advisers support and endorse PFES as a safe and convenient treatment for urinary incontinence

• The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG):
  “…ACOG supports the availability of PFES devices for patients because they are convenient, have no side effects and can be used in the convenience of the home…”*
• American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS):
  “…AUGS supports the use of PFES therapy as a unique, low risk therapy which strengthens the body’s natural continence mechanisms. ..PFES provides a potential cure, and is of relatively low cost…”*
• American Physical Therapy Association (APTA):
  “…APTA cites several studies which demonstrate that electrical stimulation can significantly reduce UI, and they strongly support its use…”*
