Principle

A treatment method that provides patients with auditory or visual feedback signals to reflect the activity status of their pelvic floor muscles.

Electrodes are inserted into 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 ability to contract and relax.

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 contraction capacity of pelvic floor muscles.

Factors affecting cost:

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

② Severity of pelvic floor dysfunction: Mild pelvic floor laxity typically requires simpler interventions and incurs lower costs. Severe cases require more complex repair procedures, leading to higher expenses.

③ Regional differences: Variations in economic development across regions result in differing medical costs. Major metropolitan areas generally have higher healthcare fees compared to second- and third-tier cities.

Since each individual's pelvic floor condition is unique, treatment plans should be personalized. It is important to conduct pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
