What is Urogynaecology?
Urogynaecology treats various issues relating to the female pelvic floor area. It is a subspeciality within gynaecology and obstetrics.
Below you can find lots of information about some of the common issues within urogynaecology.
Additionally we have compiled a patients' information leaflet library, that you can see on each urogynaecology page and also below on this page.
Urogynaecology
StarFormer Chair
StarFormer IntimaWave uses non-invasive high-intensity Tesla magnetic stimulation to strengthen, tone and firm the pelvic floor muscles. During treatment, the patient remains fully clothed and sits on a comfortable chair with built-in applicators in the seat and back.
The magnetic pulses pass through clothing, skin and bone to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscle contractions. This treatment can support pelvic floor muscle strengthening for urinary incontinence, faecal incontinence, postpartum rehabilitation and pelvic floor rehabilitation after surgery, with no preparation or downtime required.
