Conditions of pelvic region

The concept is based on the investigation, diagnosis and treatment of all conditions of pelvic region which can generate discomfort for the patient. The most frequent are:

Urinary incontinence

Urinary incontinence involves the involuntary loss of urine that can occur as a result of exertion - exercise, climbing steps, lifting weights, sexual activity, or even at rest. Sneezing, coughing and even laughter can also trigger accidental urine leakage. Urinary incontinence is not a disease in itself, but a symptom of bladder dysfunction. According to statistics, worldwide, there are over 200 million cases of incontinence of various types, women being five times more affected. Centrokinetic offers you the best treatment method, which comprises the REMED functional muscle stimulation chair, recovering the patient in 6-8 treatment sessions. For more information, learn here. Also, Dr. Minciuna performs periurethral injections with hyaluronic acid to solve this medical condition.

Erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction means the constant or repeated inability to obtain and/or maintain the necessary erection to allow sexual intercourse. Statistics show that 1 in 3 men over the age of 40 faces this problem. Any man can occasionally experience erectile dysfunction. But when they are repeating constantly and last for more than three months, we can talk about erectile dysfunction. The mechanism of erection is not only related to desire, but especially to sexual stimuli and the general health of the man, namely the functioning of the nervous system (which transmits signals of arousal) and circulatory system (ensures vascularity in the penis), but also other factors.

Centrokinetic offers you the best medical device for the treatment of erectile dysfunction: the Storz DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP acoustic shockwave device, which improves blood flow in the pelvic region and penis, one of the main causes of erectile dysfunction. Also, Dr. Minciuna performs regenerative therapies with PRP to solve this medical condition. 

Pelvic pain, inflammatory diseases (prostatitis, cystitis)

Pelvic pain represents any pain or discomfort in the pelvic region, the area below the navel (navel), and can be present in both men and women (more common). Some patients describe the pain as a stab, burning, or feeling of heaviness. The pain caused by the lesions usually has a sudden onset, while the pain caused by an infection or disease progressively sets in and persists or worsens over time. Pelvic pain may manifest as cramps during the normal menstrual cycle. Pain can also be caused by neurological, digestive, or urinary disorders, in this case, the pain occurring during sexual intercourse, menstruation, bowel movements, or urination. Symptoms of pelvic pain can occur as a result of affecting any structure of the female reproductive system including the external genitalia, clitoris, vagina, ovaries, or fallopian tubes.

• Diamagnetic therapy

What kind of investigations do we perform in the pelvic disorders recovery department?

• Urinary tract ultrasound: is a simple, non-invasive investigation, through which the urologist can assess the health of the entire urinary tract.
• Penile ultrasound, with the role of assessing blood circulation in the penis, its damage being one of the most common causes of erectile dysfunction
• Testicular ultrasound, which evaluates the structure and functionality of the testicles. It is a complex and fast method, which offers high accuracy in diagnosing these diseases.
• Transrectal ultrasound: is a special type of ultrasound that can visualize with great accuracy all the anatomical structures in the prostate area, including smaller lesions or minimal changes that can not be assessed otherwise.
• Urethral secretion collection: is the method by which the pathogens responsible for the infection of the male urethra and/or prostate are identified.
• Foley tube installation: it is a simple method, by which, in the case of problems during urination, a transperineal tube can be mounted, up to the bladder, to resume urination.

Treatment methods

The treatments of the pelvic disease recovery department are the following:

• Treatment of erectile dysfunction with the help of Storz DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP acoustic shockwave therapy, which allows improving blood flow in the pelvic region and penis, one of the main causes of erectile dysfunction. Scientific studies have proven the success of shockwave treatments in these conditions. The treatment is simple, painless, and consists of the application of acoustic shock waves in the pelvic area and at the level of the penis, in successive sessions of up to 8-10 treatments.
• PRP in the penis, a simple procedure by which peripheral blood is collected, is centrifuged, and thus natural growth factors are obtained which, when injected into the tissue, help to reshape, restore, repair, and improve cellular function. When injected into the penis in a series of monthly treatments, it helps increase the level of arousal, providing a fuller and longer erection, stronger orgasms by increasing and dilating blood vessels and improving the cellular function of pre-existing cells.
• Penis enlargement by injection with hyaluronic acid
• Periurethral injections with hyaluronic acid to treat urinary incontinence: a simple procedure dedicated to women, which is performed under local anesthesia and involves injecting a substance around the external urethral sphincter, to eliminate uncontrolled urine loss.
• Treatment of urinary incontinence by functional magnetic stimulation REMED
• Treatment of premature ejaculation by injection with hyaluronic acid
