OBJECTIVES Electrical stimulation is one kind of conservative treatment in urinary incontinence. Electrical stimulation can trigger the contraction of pelvic floor muscles, the functioning of these muscles can be improved, and the strength of muscle contraction can be increased as well. The aim of this research is to examine the efficiency of electrical stimulation treatment in case of stress and urge incontinence. METHODS In the course of the examination non-random, purposive sampling was applied. Self-made questionnaires were given to the participants before and after treatment. Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) and Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) international valid questionnaires were applied to measure life quality. The target group was woman clients between the age of 30-65, and above 65 years. The examination took place at Kaposi Mór Teaching Hospital, Somogy County, from 15 February, 2013 to 15 February, 2014.  The analysis of results was performed with MS Excel 2007 program. RESULTS The research was conducted with 100 participants. In the course of the examination 45% of the participants reported improvement after treatment regarding stress incontinence while in case of urge incontinence only 15% experienced positive change. Due to the treatment the number of the regular liner users was decreased. The number of users was 75 (75%) before treatments, which reduced to 44 (44%) after treatment. Electrical stimulation proved to be more efficient in case of stress incontinence than in urge incontinence. CONCLUSIONS Follow-up of the participants for several months would give information about the long-term benefits of electrical stimulation. In the future the improvement of the knowledge of patients on incontinence including the methods of conservative treatment is important.
