WHAT IS EMSELLA?
Urinary incontinence is a common health problem, in fact, it affects 200 million people worldwide. Getting the right treatment for this nuisance will help you by reducing frequent bathroom stops and minimizing embarrassing accidents.
But before we can learn more about EMSELLA™ and how it works, let’s talk about incontinence, what it is, and how it’s negatively affecting people’s lives.
What Is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control. This lack of control results in involuntary or uncontrollable bladder leaks.
There are five different types of urinary incontinence:
Urge incontinence
Stress incontinence
Mixed incontinence
Overflow incontinence
Functional (neurogenic) incontinence
Urge incontinence refers to the sudden urge to urinate. This urge comes without any warning or having enough time to make it to the restroom. Stress incontinence is when urination occurs as a result of pressure (stress) being placed on the bladder. This could be from sneezing, coughing, laughing, or exercising.
Mixed incontinence is a mixture of urge and stress incontinence.
Overflow incontinence happens as a result of the bladder being unable to empty itself entirely causing bladder leaks. Functional incontinence is when a mental or physical impairment causes urination. For example, an individual with arthritis has trouble removing their pants in time for urination.
What Causes Incontinence?
A weakened pelvic floor (muscles) is often the underlying cause of incontinence in women. The pelvic floor often weakens during or after pregnancy, after a certain age, or because of hormonal imbalance (during menopause).
Nineteen million American women suffer from pelvic floor weakness, but this can affect men as well. A strong pelvic floor is what allows the body to have control over the bladder and the bowels. A lack of control from urinary incontinence may cause women to avoid medical treatment due to shame, doubt, and fear of losing their autonomy. That’s where EMSELLA comes in.
How Can EMSELLA Help?
While prevention via pelvic floor exercises is usually the best option for these issues, problems may still arise when the exercises are not practiced or when the birth of a child caused bladder leakage issues. There are treatment options available for these issues, including the EMSELLA chair treatment.
Emsella is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment for incontinence caused by a weakened pelvic floor. The EMSELLA chair emits a high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) wave to create supramaximal contractions within the pelvic floor muscles over a 30-minute session twice a week for 3 weeks.
Emsella is superior to Kegels. Even though Kegels can help to strengthen the pelvic floor over a long time period, they are not able to compete with this treatment option. These supramaximal contractions are delivered by the thousands during these short sessions. Thirty minutes on the Emsella chair is equivalent to doing over 10,000 Kegels!
The chair helps target weakened muscles within the pelvic floor. The stimulation of these muscles improves bladder control and reduces incontinence. Some may see immediate results while others may not feel any different until they have had a few sessions. 95% of individuals who choose EMSELLA and have either stress, urge, or mixed, will see improvement.
Why Choose EMSELLA?
With EMSELLA, most patients will find relief from urinary incontinence almost instantly. This non-invasive procedure strengthens your pelvic muscles and reduces your chances of urinating from sneezing, coughing, laughing, and exercising.
Other benefits of EMSELLA as a treatment include:
No downtime or recovery time
You are fully clothed during the procedure
It reduces the need for invasive surgery
Some people will even find relief from chronic lower back pain
There are many reports of improved orgasms in both men and women who undergo treatment
Many of the patients who use EMSELLA see results after just one session, although we highly recommend participating in the full 6-session treatment for the best long-term results.
