At Fizimed, we are committed to supporting every woman on the path to better intimate health and renewed well-being. Today, we’re sharing Sylvia’s remarkable and deeply moving journey with you. After undergoing major pelvic floor surgery and living with particularly disabling urinary symptoms every day, she chose to trust the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer. Thanks to her perseverance and this at-home biofeedback technology, she was able to say goodbye to her daily ordeal and finally take back control of her body in the face of urine leaks.
The key points from Sylvia’s journey:
- Two severe urinary issues: Sylvia was dealing with both urinary retention and incontinence, a heavy burden that meant she had to carry out a time-consuming post-void residual check every 3 hours.
- 9 weeks of daily training: By adopting a routine of regular exercises with Emy Trainer, she actively strengthened her pelvic floor muscles and transformed her physical condition.
- A complete disappearance of symptoms: Today, Sylvia no longer needs any checks, her urinary retention has gone, and her urinary leaks have almost completely disappeared, giving her back her joy for life.
The daily ordeal of urinary retention and incontinence
For Sylvia, everyday life had become a constant source of anxiety. Living with urinary retention and mixed incontinence at the same time, her freedom of movement and peace of mind had completely disappeared. Having to check her residual urine every three hours was an extremely heavy mental and physical burden. “The heavy burden of urinary retention and incontinence had limited me so much that I’d lost my will to live,” she says emotionally.
When faced with severe pelvic floor disorders, many women think surgery is the only solution. Yet even after major surgery, the muscles still need to be actively retrained. Sylvia also shares one regret: “What a shame I didn’t discover Emy before my major pelvic floor surgery!”. Fortunately, it’s never too late to start effective treatment, and muscle strengthening through biofeedback stands out as one of the best treatments for urinary incontinence and for restoring bladder function.
9 weeks to regain a new sense of freedom with Emy
Determined to break out of this dead end and get back to normal life, Sylvia started a strict daily training routine with her Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer. Designed to offer fun, biofeedback-based exercises, the trainer lets you see your contractions in real time on your smartphone, ensuring optimum effectiveness in every training session.
The results were quick to appear. After 9 weeks of dedicated exercises, the transformation is spectacular: “Now, after 9 weeks of daily training, everything has” improved for me. No more check-ups every 3 hours — that already changes everything! No more urinary retention, and the incontinence has almost completely gone too. I’m over the moon! »
This success is built on the many benefits of the Emy solution: the chance to train at your own pace, at home, while following a scientifically proven protocol. Far from being a burden, these few minutes a day help stabilise organ support in the long term and prevent a relapse or another surgery for organ prolapse.
Far from stopping there, Sylvia is determined to keep building on her progress: « I’m going to keep training because I want my pelvic floor to become even more stable and turn this tiny bit of uncertainty that remains into a feeling of complete confidence. »
Outstanding support and a responsive customer service team
Beyond the technological performance of the Emy device, Sylvia was especially struck by the human quality of the Fizimed team. Going through intimate health issues can be isolating, and having a caring ear makes all the difference along the care journey.
« All we can say is thank you for the outstanding support and customer service. Every one of my questions was answered in record time. You really can’t do better. My sincerest thanks », she says enthusiastically. Knowing you’re supported by a team of experts gives you an extra source of motivation to never give up your rehab routine.
What you can take away from Sylvia’s experience:
- Active rehabilitation after surgery is essential: Even after major pelvic floor surgery, regular muscle strengthening remains vital to restore pelvic floor tone and stabilise the results.
- At-home biofeedback delivers real results: In just 9 weeks of daily exercises with the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer, Sylvia eliminated her urinary retention and drastically reduced her incontinence.
- No more mental load from frequent check-ups: Regaining bladder control frees you from stressful medical constraints (such as assessments every 3 hours) and helps you fully rediscover your joy for life.
