Magnetic Pelvic Floor Stimulation: who is NOT a candidate?

By Advanced Urology · November 10, 2026

Who should not use magnetic pelvic floor stimulation?

Bottom line

People with metal implants near the pelvis, pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices, or who are pregnant usually shouldn't use it. People with certain medical conditions may need clearance first.

Magnetic pelvic floor therapy, explained by Advanced Urology

An evaluation before your first session

Douglas County patients considering the chair begin with Daniel Roberson, PA-C, at our Dallas Clinic. He'll review your health history, implanted devices and medicines, check your urine, and explain whether magnetic therapy is a good fit for your symptoms.

Who usually does well

Women with stress or urge leakage and men with leakage after prostate surgery often benefit. Sessions happen in street clothes as pulses work the pelvic muscles, and you leave ready for the rest of your day. When the chair isn't a good option, other treatments such as medicines, Bulkamid, Botox or nerve stimulation remain available.

Call us if

  • Leaks suddenly worsen
  • Burning or blood appears in the urine
  • Pelvic pain develops

Common questions

Common questions

How many sessions will I need?

Usually a series of sessions over several weeks. You stay clothed in the chair each time, and we track your leaks to judge progress.

Can I keep doing Kegels?

Yes. Daily Kegels at home help keep the strength the chair builds, and a pelvic floor therapist can check that you're squeezing the right muscles.

Douglasville, Lithia Springs and Villa Rica residents can call (678) 344-8900 to arrange an evaluation.

Let us know if you have a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator, metal implants in the pelvic area, or might be pregnant, since these change whether the chair is advised. When the chair is not advised, there are other good options.

Questions about the sessions are always welcome before you begin.

Wear comfortable clothing to each session, and plan on returning to your usual day right after.
