Hundreds of thousands of people in our country struggle with difficulties in holding urine. Most patient information sites recommend pads, diapers, medications and surgeries as “solutions”, but these bring no or only minimal improvement. Better results come from strengthening the pelvic floor muscles or relearning how to relax them. Various pelvic floor exercise routines can be effective in half to one year (provided you practice 40–50 minutes daily). With electrical incontinence stimulators the process is significantly faster. A beneficial effect can be felt after just 2–3 weeks of treatment. Within three months stress, urge and mixed incontinence can be completely eliminated or at least significantly improved in almost all cases.

For decades there has been a prevailing claim that TENS, EMS, FES and MENS treatments should not be performed near or directly over metal implants. But is there really so much to fear? What is the truth?
As electrical treatments are becoming increasingly common and many devices for home use are available, it is important to know whether these devices carry any risks.
People have long been wary of electricity — partly with good reason. However, the prohibitions related to electrotherapy devices are slowly but surely being overturned!
But let’s look at this step by step!

One of the most effective ways to treat incontinence is muscle stimulation. A muscle stimulation device is usually a very simple tool and its use is not complicated — provided someone explains the steps properly. In this article I try to do exactly that.

Many people suffer from persistent pain. Chronic pain means pain that lasts for more than six months, and its severity can range from quite mild to agonizing; it may be continuous or intermittent. It can be nearly constant, lasting months or even years, which is why chronic pain is an enormous physical and mental burden on the sufferer. It most commonly presents as back, lumbar or joint pain, but can appear in many other forms as well, such as facial or sinus pain, tendonitis, tennis elbow, sciatica or carpal tunnel syndrome. What can you do at home to reduce chronic pain?

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines chronic diseases as long‑lasting, generally slowly progressing conditions that are among the leading causes of adult morbidity and mortality worldwide.

Most Hungarian amateur athletes train in the spare time they steal from their job and their family/partner. With such obligations, only a few manage optimal preparation. I’ll show you an opportunity provided by the most modern medical technology that you can use passively — for example while doing office work — and literally "gain" training time. With muscle stimulation you can effectively develop your muscles. Of course, not all muscles at once as with traditional training. But that’s not the goal! Apply muscle stimulation to the muscles that your sport uses most. For example, if you cycle or run, focus on your leg muscles. If you make stimulation part of your training plan, it can provide significant development opportunities. Let’s see what this is about.

After an episode of thrombosis you are never quite “the same” again! The disease always ends in a “residual condition” that you must live with for the rest of your life. This is the post-thrombosis condition, medically called post-thrombotic syndrome. Keeping symptoms under control and, above all, preventing recurrence of thrombosis is in your hands. You must care for it every day, continuously. Let’s review your options.

Thrombosis most often develops in your leg, particularly in the lower leg. It often represents a life-threatening condition! According to data, it affects 16–20 thousand people annually in Hungary and several thousand die from its complications.

It's morning. You get out of bed feeling tired and your calf feels stiff. Every day you get more and more of a nagging feeling that something isn't right. You wonder whether to go for today's run or whether it's time to suspend running until the complaint disappears. You think you need to move — so you set off. Achilles pain increasingly torments you while running and you eventually switch to walking. But it doesn't get better: your lower-leg muscles remain stiff and ache. What could this be?

Like most of our country's residents, you probably believe that because you paid your health contributions, it is solely the doctors' job (duty) to heal you. You think it's enough to take a pill or two and have nothing to do but sit in an armchair and wait to recover. You don't give up unhealthy eating, you don't change your sedentary lifestyle, and you certainly won't give up your harmful habits. Yet you wonder why you don't feel better from the pills!?

It's time to learn that the majority of chronic diseases are caused by your lifestyle! You can't blame others for their development, and you must take part in their treatment. In treating chronic diseases the doctor's role is to provide a treatment plan. Its execution, however, depends almost entirely on you!

Gout is a common form of arthritis that can affect anyone. It causes excruciating pain, swelling and redness, most often in the joints of the big toe. The area is extremely sensitive. A gout attack often appears suddenly, frequently waking you in the middle of the night with the sensation that the big toe is "on fire." The joint is hot, swollen and so tender that even the weight of a blanket may feel unbearable. In some cases the symptoms "come and go" and resolve on their own. Most often, however, they require treatment and the person affected must take steps to prevent future flares.
