Abstract

The review article is devoted to the usage of extracorporeal magnetic stimulation in the treatment of urological diseases. Based on the analysis of scientific publications in the PubMed, Medscape, Google Scholar databases, modern data on the mechanism of the therapeutic effect of this method, the method of performing the procedure, the results of clinical studies of its effectiveness in the treatment of urinary incontinence, bladder hypoactivity, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation are presented.
