Pelvic Lift: Treatment Advice & Aftercare

Before & After Your Pelvic Lift Treatment

Pelvic Lift is a non-invasive treatment that uses electromagnetic stimulation to produce repeated contractions of the pelvic floor muscles while you remain fully clothed and seated.

It may be used as part of a programme to support pelvic floor function and improve symptoms associated with pelvic floor weakness, including some types of urinary leakage.

There are no needles or internal devices and you can normally return to your usual activities immediately afterwards.

Before Your Treatment

Pelvic Lift requires very little preparation.

Before your appointment:

• Wear comfortable clothing.

• You will remain fully clothed during treatment.

• Empty your bladder before your session for comfort.

• Remove items such as your phone, keys, coins, bank cards and other electronic or metallic objects from your pockets before sitting on the treatment chair.

• Tell your practitioner about any medical conditions, operations or implanted medical devices.

• Let us know if anything about your health or medication has changed since your consultation.

• 
  

Is Pelvic Lift Suitable for Everyone?

Electromagnetic treatment is not appropriate for everyone.

Please tell us before treatment if you:

• are pregnant or think you may be pregnant

• have a pacemaker, defibrillator or another implanted electronic device

• have a cochlear implant or other electronic implant

• have a metal implant in or close to the treatment area

• have had recent surgery in the pelvic or abdominal area

• have epilepsy or a neurological condition

• have active cancer or are currently undergoing cancer treatment

• have unexplained pelvic pain or bleeding

• have an active urinary or pelvic infection

• have significant pelvic organ prolapse

• have any other medical condition that may affect your suitability for electromagnetic treatment.

Published studies of high-intensity electromagnetic pelvic-floor stimulation have excluded people with factors including pregnancy, pacemakers/electronic implants, metal in the treatment area, epilepsy, active infection and certain neurological or pelvic conditions.

Metal & Implanted Devices

This deserves its own small section because clients may not realise it's relevant.

Pelvic Lift creates a powerful electromagnetic field. Please tell us about any implanted medical device or metal implant, even if you are unsure whether it is relevant. Your practitioner will assess whether treatment can safely be performed.

What Does the Treatment Feel Like?

During treatment you will feel repeated contractions of the pelvic floor muscles.

The intensity is gradually adjusted according to your comfort and treatment protocol. The contractions can feel unusual or strong, but treatment should not be painful.

You remain seated and fully clothed throughout the session.

What to Expect Afterwards

There is normally little or no downtime, and you can usually return to your normal daily activities immediately.

Some people may notice temporary:

• pelvic floor muscle fatigue

• mild muscle soreness

• tingling or unusual muscle sensations.

These should be mild and temporary. Reviews of magnetic pelvic-floor stimulation generally report few adverse effects, with reported effects tending to be mild and transient.

Aftercare

Pelvic Lift doesn't usually require specific aftercare.

After your treatment:

• Continue your normal daily activities unless your practitioner advises otherwise.

• Keep well hydrated as part of your normal routine.

• Continue any pelvic floor exercises recommended by your healthcare professional or pelvic health physiotherapist.

• Attend the recommended course of treatments consistently where possible.

Pelvic Lift can complement pelvic floor exercises rather than replacing them. Recent research has also investigated electromagnetic treatment alongside pelvic-floor muscle training.

When Should I Seek Medical Advice?

Pelvic Lift is intended to support pelvic floor function; it is not a diagnostic treatment.

Urinary leakage can have different causes, and some symptoms require medical assessment.

Speak to your GP or an appropriate healthcare professional if you experience symptoms such as:

• blood in your urine

• pain or burning when urinating

• recurrent urinary infections

• unexplained pelvic pain or bleeding

• difficulty emptying your bladder

• a new or significant feeling of pelvic pressure or prolapse

• sudden or unexplained changes in bladder or bowel control.

If your symptoms are persistent, worsening or haven't previously been medically assessed, we may recommend speaking to your GP or a pelvic health specialist before continuing treatment.

When Should I Contact Eco Skin Clinic?
