Abstract
Introduction: Overactive bladder (OAB) is one of the most common syndromes of lower urinary tract dysfunction. Besides standard therapy using anticholinergic medications, comprehensive management of overactive bladder includes physiotherapy. Aim: To test the clinical effectiveness and safety of autonomous electrostimulation device «Erektron» in treating OAB in women. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted at the Urology and Gynecology Clinic of the Innovative Medical Technology Center between 25.04.2014 and 30.01.2015. It included 20 women with newly diagnosed OAB both with and without urinary urgency incontinence or urinary stress incontinence. The patients were divided into 2 groups. All patients were treated with the first line anticholinergic agent solifenacin 5 mg daily. In patients of group 1, anticholinergic therapy was administered concurrently with intravaginal electrostimulation using «Erektron» device. Results: In both groups, the treatment resulted in positive results, but a more pronounced improvement was found in group 1 patients with mixed incontinence. Conclusion. Autonomous electrostimulation device MT-RV «Erektron» can be used in comprehensive management of patients with OAB, including those with stress urinary incontinence.
