contact your medical adviser.
Using Mode D – After Care

PFS - Frequently Asked
Questions
QHow long will it take to see
results?
A The amount of time varies
from man to man; it is also
dependent on the type of
incontinence from which you
are suffering.
S RESS Incontinence -
improvement comes
slowly with the building
of muscle fibre and
nerve sensitivity. This can
take up to 2 months.
URGE Incontinence -
improvements are made by
reducing the false signals
sent by the bladder to the
brain. Results can be seen
in as little as 14 days.
MIXED Incontinence -
improvements are made
by building the muscle fibre
and nerve sensitivity as well
as reducing the false signals
being sent to the brain. This
can take slightly longer, but
you should be able to notice
a difference within 21 days.
QWhat does it feel like?
A All three PFS programmes feel
slightly different. In general,
the feeling is that of a pleasant,
tingly, squeezing sensation
that contracts and relaxes the
pelvic floor muscles.
QIs it suitable for use by all men?
A Yes, all men can use it
provided none of the
contraindications apply.
QCan you use the Sensatone
for Men for Faecal (Bowel)
incontinence or Nocturnal
Enuresis?
A Yes, but you must consult with
your medical adviser to
determine the treatment mode
which will best suit your needs.
QAre there any side effects?
A No, it is totally drug free.
There are no known
side effects.
