What is incontinence?

Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine. There are several types of urinary incontinence:

 

1. Stress Incontinence: This occurs when exerted pressure on the bladder causes leakage. It can be triggered by activities such as coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising.

 

2. Urge Incontinence: This is characterized by a sudden, intense urge to urinate frequently.

 

3. Mixed Incontinence: This type is a combination of both stress and urge incontinence.

 

4. Overflow Incontinence: This occurs when the bladder does not completely empty when you urinate. Small amounts of urine then leak out, often without any warning or feeling of the need to urinate. It can be caused by nerve damage or an obstruction.

 

5. Transient Incontinence: This is a temporary type of urinary incontinence caused by a medical condition or infection. Once the condition is managed or the infection is treated, the incontinence is typically resolved. Transient incontinence can be triggered by urinary tract infections, medications, medical impairments, restricted mobility, or severe constipation.

How many treatment sessions will I need?

We understand that every patient is unique, and your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs.

 

For optimal results, most people require a course of six sessions. While some patients may see significant improvement after six sessions, others may need up to eight sessions to achieve the desired outcome. The number of sessions required will depend on factors such as age and the severity of your condition.

 

The sessions are scheduled twice a week, 48 hours apart, over a period of three weeks. Each Emsella treatment session typically lasts approximately 30 minutes.

How quickly will I see the results?

Most people begin to see and feel results after just two or three treatment sessions. While mild improvements and sensations may be noticeable after your first session, it typically takes several sessions to observe the full effect on your symptoms.

 

Results vary based on your unique health condition.

How long do the results of the EMSELLA treatment last? 

How long the effects of your treatment last depends on the severity of your symptoms at the start. Most people will notice a positive effect on symptoms for up to one year or longer, depending on the overall condition of your pelvic floor. Additionally, making other lifestyle changes can help promote longer-lasting results.

What does the procedure feel like? 

Treatment sessions are 28 minutes long, and the procedure is not at all painful. You may feel a tingling sensation as your muscles contract and relax. Some patients describe the feeling as similar to doing Kegel exercises.

 

You can bring a friend or family member along to chat with during the treatment, or you can read a book or magazine if you prefer.

Is the EMSELLA treatment better than Kegel exercises? 

Better results can be achieved faster due to the intensity and comprehensive coverage provided by the EMSELLA chair:

 

The EMSELLA chair stimulates powerful contractions of the entire pelvic floor musculature, not just the subset that can be exercised with Kegel exercises. Each 28-minute session in the chair is equivalent to performing 11,000 pelvic floor exercises.
