This might be a result of weak pelvic floor muscles since pelvic floor muscles play an important role in supporting pelvic organs and controlling continence. Physiological changes can contribute to the development of urinary incontinence; changes such as vaginal delivery, menopause, and aging can decondition pelvic floor muscles.

Each session lasts about 30 minutes, with a typical course requiring six sessions scheduled twice a week.

During EMSELLA treatment you will be completely clothed yet, we recommended loosely fitted clothing to help achieve best positioning during treatment. When the treatment starts you will feel slight tingling and vibrations in your pelvic floor muscles that will then turn into full contractions. This will be completely comfortable and tolerable. If not, please let your healthcare provider know and they will adjust accordingly. Take this 30-minute session to relax, read a magazine, or watch television. You will be able to return to normal activities after the treatment.

EMSELLA is an US FDA and Health Canada approved medical device. The technology uses a non-ionizing electromagnetic energy to stimulate the contraction of muscle cells. This technology does not have a thermal effect on the body.

You may observe improvement after a single session. The results will typically continue to improve over the next few weeks.

Yes, Men who are experiencing urinary leaks, feelings of urgency, excessive frequency and waking at night can expect to see an improvement with EMSELLA. EMSELLA has also been shown to help men with erectile dysfunction related to pelvic floor dysfunction. Men also report improvements in sexual satisfaction such as more pleasurable orgasms and improved volume of ejaculate.

The research says that:

• Based on the International Prostate Symptoms Score, 70% of patients experienced improvements in Urinary Incontinence.
• After treatment there was a 46.2% reduction in the frequency of nighttime urination and a 38.2% increase in urinary control.
• There was a 37% improvement in maintaining an erection until the completion of intercourse and a 24.2% increase in satisfaction with intercourse attempts (according to the International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire).
• Male patients reported a 10.7% increase in ejaculatory frequency and an 18.9% increase in the frequency of experiencing orgasms.
• Based on ultrasound scans, it was shown that there was an increase in the number and density of tissue segments after treatment, suggesting an enhancement in erectile function.

As with any exercise program, the saying “use it or lose it” also applies to the muscles of the pelvic floor. EMSELLA strengthens your muscles but some maintenance is required to keep your muscles in top form. You can complete EMSELLA maintenance visits or actively complete your Kegel exercises or some combination of both. With proper maintenance, EMSELLA results are long lasting.

Most commonly reported is an increased awareness of the muscles of the pelvic floor and some very minor discomfort of tendons. Typically, this is most noticeable after the first visit and only lasts for a couple of hours. The manufacturer of the EMSELLA chair notes that side effects may include muscular pain, temporary muscle spasm, temporary joint or tendon pain, temporary increase of local circulation, increased sensitivity during intercourse, and local skin redness.

EMSELLA is amazing but it is not for everyone. If you are pregnant, have implanted electronic devices, have metallic implants, a tumor or heart disorder, you cannot receive EMSELLA treatment.
