Pelvic floor: when to seek care and what Makai Pelvic offers

Urinary leakage and other pelvic concerns can be difficult to discuss, but they deserve assessment. The first step is understanding what is happening, before choosing a device. At Makai in Curridabat, you can ask about Makai Pelvic and receive guidance on whether this option may suit your case.

Symptoms can have different causes

The pelvic floor helps support and control functions in the area. However, urinary symptoms alone do not mean the muscles are weak. Assessment helps distinguish different situations and determine whether you need medical care, physiotherapy or another approach. Exercises or treatments should not be started automatically.

What is functional magnetic stimulation?

The manufacturer of Tesla Care describes a system that uses a magnetic field to produce pelvic floor muscle contractions. Makai Pelvic includes assessment of this technology. A device being available for a particular purpose does not mean it is suitable for everyone or can be promised to resolve every type of incontinence.

Technology does not replace a complete assessment

Conservative options for incontinence may include supervised pelvic floor training, changes in habits and bladder training, depending on the diagnosis. A stimulation chair does not automatically replace these approaches or the recommended follow-up. The decision should include an explanation of alternatives and why a particular option is chosen.

How to prepare for a private consultation

You can note when symptoms occur, how long you have had them and how they affect your activities. Mention pregnancies, births, surgeries, medications and implanted devices where relevant. You do not need to send intimate details or photos on WhatsApp to request an appointment; you can share that information during the professional assessment.

Questions that help you decide

Ask what assessment is needed, what benefit is reasonable, which contraindications are reviewed and how response will be measured. Also ask what happens if there is no improvement and when referral to another professional would be recommended. If new symptoms or significant worsening occur, seek medical care rather than simply attributing them to the pelvic floor.

A first step without pressure

Makai Pelvic offers a starting point to discuss your goals privately and learn about the program. The assessment is an opportunity to ask questions, clarify costs and make an informed decision. Book in Curridabat and tell us you would like a pelvic wellness consultation; the details will be discussed during your visit.
