Female urinary incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine) is often caused by bladder prolapse or uterine prolapse. The bladder or uterus is displaced from its normal position, descends downward and presses on the pelvic floor muscles. This can cause a constant uncomfortable sensation, make sexual intercourse painful, and disrupt urinary and bowel continence. Its treatment is much more difficult than that of “simple” incontinence.

The term biofeedback refers to the detection of biological processes using technical equipment. Here I present one such device. The SineBravo is an electromyography (EMG)-based biofeedback device. It measures the electrical potential changes (EMG) that occur during muscle contractions and converts them into visible and/or audible signals. It can detect a muscle contraction even when the contraction is so slight that it is not visible. The SineBravo is not a diagnostic EMG, but a two-channel biofeedback device that, by continuously monitoring muscle activity, provides substantial help in performing rehabilitation exercises.

Microcurrent (MCR) therapy is a form of electrotherapy. Its main uses are pain relief and treating joint or tendon inflammation. It is also suitable for a range of other issues; you can read about those here. Now I will show what is needed for microcurrent treatment and how to perform it.

Fecal incontinence is a disturbance or inability to retain stool, causing involuntary leakage from the rectum. In the West it is also called "bowel incontinence." Its severity varies between individuals, ranging from a few drops seeping out to a complete loss of control. Whatever the cause, fecal incontinence can be extremely embarrassing. Many people feel ashamed and do not consult a doctor, yet in most cases treatment can lead to improvement.

Commenters on my Facebook page and members of my groups often mention various herbal teas that helped eliminate certain symptoms. There are many reactions to this — for example, many people complain that if herbal tea is so good, why doesn't their doctor recommend it to them? Really! What explains that doctors don't really recommend herbal teas? Why do they prefer medicines over natural active ingredients? I'll try to unravel this now.

In our country there are tens of thousands of runners. Some run on city asphalt roads, on tartan tracks in sports fields or parks, others cover kilometers on forest or mountain trails. The harder and more frequent the training, the more common the associated complaints, pains and injuries become. The Globus Runner Pro sports muscle stimulator was created for them. My article discusses what it can be used for.

In our country there are many registered football players, but probably even more who play a few times a week with friends. Injuries are common in the heat of matches, so between two games footballers often suffer from various complaints and pains. The Globus Soccer Pro sports muscle stimulation device was created for them. Let's see what you can use it for!

“I read about electrical stimulation and would like some advice. I'm a bodybuilder and my main goals are increasing muscle mass and relaxing the muscles. Please help me choose a device.” I received this question recently. I think many people might be interested in my answer, so I'm sharing it.

A large proportion of diseases do not develop in a single moment, but rather through a slow process that can take years. It may happen that during this time you notice no symptoms. In this early (so‑called preclinical) stage the disease can still be eradicated and the process stopped. If the disease is not detected and is only noticed when symptoms appear, interventions are usually too late and often there is no possibility to reverse the process. A screening test is a procedure suitable for detecting signs indicative of disease in the early, still asymptomatic phase.

The dreaded complication of diabetes is the diabetic foot, which at first manifests “only” as pain and sensory disturbances, but over time can lead to much more serious consequences. Because of worsening circulation, tissues can die in small areas and a skin wound (ulcer) forms. If the process worsens, it can cause tissue death affecting the toes or even the forefoot. Treating the diabetic foot and avoiding severe consequences largely depends on you: what and how much you eat, how much you move, and whether you follow medical instructions.

You can encounter a million diet ideas. All kinds of diets, training systems, and of course miracle pills are advertised that claim you'll lose 20 kg in a week. They push all sorts of shakes and extracts, and promise methods that work while you sit in an armchair. In my opinion none of these provide a solution because they are campaign-like and only sustainable for a short time. Most people don't need a "diet" so much as a change in lifestyle and nutrition to lose weight. The recipe for success would be embarrassingly simple for many (but unfortunately not everyone)! I'll tell the "big secret"!
