INTERVENTION: Intervention in group A will include local, 20‐minute of DEMF stimulation, with electromagnetic induction of 2.5 T. In the stimulation the manually set mode, recommended by the manufacturer for individuals with symptoms of SUI and MUI will be used (the frequency of 10‐50 Hz, pulse duration: 3 seconds (s), pause time: 6 s, the magnetic induction of 2.5 T). The intervention will be carried out in a comfortable and safe sitting position on a specialized chair, with the special generator placed inside the seat. Intervention in group B will include the commonly used pulsed magnetic field. Stimulation will last 20 minutes (frequency: 10 to 50 Hz, Magnetic induction: 0.1 mT to 20 mT ‐ at the discretion of the treating physician). The intervention will also be carried out in a comfortable, safe seating position on a specialized chair, with the field generator placed in the seat in the form of flat cushions. For both groups, each participant receives a single treatment session. CONDITION: urinary incontinence PRIMARY OUTCOME: Resting and functional bioelectrical activity of pelvic floor muscle assessed by electromyography The visualization and evaluation of the elastic properties of the tissue assessed by Vaginal Tactile Imager SECONDARY OUTCOME: None INCLUSION CRITERIA: Inclusion criteria assumed in the study will include: acquiring subjects' informed consent to participate in the study, urologist and physiotherapist permission, the overall well‐being on the examination day, lack of contraindications for the sEMG measurement, lack of contraindications for DEMF stimulation, diagnosed SUI or MUI.
