Urinary incontinence, the involuntary leakage of urine, is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can significantly impact one’s quality of life and self-confidence.
While there are various treatment options available, Emsella has emerged as a revolutionary non-invasive solution for urinary incontinence. In this blog post, we will explore how Emsella Hove works and its effectiveness in treating urinary incontinence.
Before delving into Emsella, let’s briefly understand urinary incontinence. This condition occurs when the muscles and nerves responsible for controlling the bladder become weak or dysfunctional. There are different types of urinary incontinence, including stress incontinence (leakage during physical activities), urge incontinence (sudden, intense urge to urinate), and mixed incontinence (a combination of both).
Emsella is an innovative FDA treatment that utilizes High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. The pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in supporting the bladder and controlling urination. By targeting these muscles, Emsella aims to improve their strength and function, thereby reducing or eliminating episodes of urinary incontinence.
How Does Emsella Work?
During an Emsella session, the patient sits fully clothed on a specially designed chair. The chair emits electromagnetic energy that stimulates deep pelvic floor muscle contractions.
These contractions are supramaximal, meaning they are more intense than what can be achieved through voluntary muscle actions like kegel exercises.
The electromagnetic stimulation improves blood circulation to the pelvic area, promoting muscle cell growth and tissue remodeling. Over time, this leads to stronger, more resilient pelvic floor muscles that can better support the bladder and control urinary flow.
The Emsella Experience
Emsella treatment is comfortable and painless. Patients typically describe the sensation as a series of gentle contractions in the pelvic region. Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes, and multiple sessions are usually recommended for optimal results. It is important to note that the number of sessions may vary depending on the severity of the urinary incontinence.
