Using of the personal pelvic floor muscle trainer with feedback function in men with stress urinary incontinence.

Introduction. The high prevalence of prostate surgical interventions leads to an increase of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) of varying severity. SUI leads to a significant decrease of quality of life, sleep disorders, and the appearance of clinically pronounced signs of anxiety and depression. The main methods of SUI treating in men are sling surgery and artificial sphincter implantation. However, treatment can lead to postoperative complications and has several contraindications. Also, many patients, after undergoing surgery, try to refrain from subsequent corrective surgery. Minimally invasive methods of treatment of SUI in men (introduction of bulking agents, behavioral therapy, Kegel exercises) have low efficiency. All this determines the need to search for new methods of treatment, including personalization of pelvic floor muscle training. Materials and methods. The study included 37 patients with SUI after radical prostatectomy (RPE) or transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). In all patients, the presence of SUI was confirmed urodynamically. All patients passed standardized examination, which included: uroflowmetry (UFM), complex urodynamic study (on the first visit).
