Urinary incontinence (UI) is a significant health condition that affects many people, especially women, negatively impacting their quality of life in physical, social, economic, sexual and psychological terms. Defined by the International Urinary Incontinence Society (ICS) as any involuntary loss of urine, UI can be classified into three types: stress urinary incontinence (SUI), which occurs with increased abdominal pressure; urge urinary incontinence (UUI), associated with the urgent sensation of urinating; and mixed urinary in-continence (MUI), a combination of SUI and UUI. In this context, the aim of this study was to identify the improvement in urinary incontinence after 8 sessions of treatment with electromagnetic field technology. This is a retrospective, descriptive and quantitative study, based on the information contained in the medical records and questionnaires of the patients evaluated in the Research and Development Sector of Contourline Equipamentos Médicos e Diagnósticos Ltda, based in the city of Sete Lagoas-MG, between July and October 2023. 12 female patients were treated, with an average age of 34.4. The results showed that Electromagnetic Field technology is capable of safely and effectively treating patients with UI. The treatment was effective, with the majority of participants (90%) experiencing a significant reduction in the frequency or even elimination of urine leakage episodes.
