Urinary incontinence affects millions of people, both men, and women. From getting up numerous times a night to avoiding social situations, the physical impact of incontinence is substantial, while the effects on your mental health can be equally as devastating.

Do I Have Incontinence?

If you leak urine when you cough, sneeze, or engage in other strenuous activities or have a frequent, urgent need to go to the bathroom, you may be suffering from incontinence. Not only does this affect daily activities, but it can also have a significant impact on your intimate life.

What Causes Incontinence?

Incontinence can be caused by many factors, including childbirth, aging, obesity, and hormonal changes like menopause. Prostate cancer surgeries may also cause incontinence. These factors can cause the pelvic floor muscles to become weak. When this happens, they can no longer effectively support the pelvic organs, leading to urge, stress, urinary, and fecal incontinence issues.

During the Procedure

On the day of your treatment, dress comfortably in clothing that allows your legs to spread and your back to stay straight. This is necessary to achieve the correct pelvic tilt. It is best to have no metal on the body, so leave your jewelry at home.

During treatment, you may experience slight tingling, but you can resume normal activities immediately after. Some patients experience very mild soreness the next day, but it does not interfere with daily activities.

Results

Typically, patients require six sessions of Emsella. Normally, these are scheduled twice a week. Depending on the severity of your condition, you may not see significant improvement until after a few sessions. Some patients notice improvement after only one session. In addition to improved incontinence, Emsella can also improve your sexual wellness by increasing sensitivity during intercourse and making orgasm easier to achieve.
