Principle

A treatment method that provides patients with auditory or visual feedback on the activity of their pelvic floor muscles.

Electrodes are placed in the vagina or anus to deliver electrical stimulation to the pelvic floor muscles, enhancing muscle strength.

Uses magnetic fields to stimulate and exercise the pelvic floor muscles, improving their contraction and relaxation capacity.

Utilizes laser technology to stimulate pelvic floor tissues, promoting collagen regeneration and enhancing pelvic muscle function.

Uses mesh implants fixed to tendons or fascia to enhance the contractile ability of pelvic floor muscles.

Factors Affecting Cost:

① Type of Procedure: There are various types of pelvic floor repair procedures, and costs may vary significantly depending on the specific method used.

② Severity of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: Mild pelvic floor muscle relaxation typically requires simpler interventions and lower costs. Severe cases involve more complex repair procedures and higher associated costs.

③ Regional Differences: Differences in economic development across regions lead to variations in medical costs. Major cities generally have higher medical fees compared to second- and third-tier cities.

④ Physician Experience: More experienced doctors often possess higher technical proficiency and can provide more precise treatment, which may result in higher fees. Less experienced physicians may charge relatively lower fees.

If pelvic floor muscle relaxation and urinary incontinence repair are needed, it is recommended to visit a正规 medical institution and undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician. After the procedure, proper postoperative care is essential—avoid getting the treated area wet too early to prevent complications and support optimal recovery.
