Did you know pelvic floor disorders affect around 25% of women in the United States? These disorders range from urinary to fecal incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. But it’s not just women who struggle with these issues – a staggering 11% to 34% of older men in the U.S. suffer urinary incontinence.

It’s an issue many people shy away from discussing, yet it impacts the lives of millions. Luckily, Emsella, a breakthrough treatment, brings hope to many who struggle with these conditions.

This article discusses the perfect candidate for Emsella to help you decide if this innovative treatment suits you.

WHAT IS ESMELLA AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Emsella is a revolutionary non-invasive treatment designed to improve the quality of life for individuals who suffer from incontinence, weak pelvic floor muscles, or a lack of bladder control. It utilizes high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate the deep pelvic floor muscles and restore neuromuscular control.

The treatment involves sitting on a unique Emsella chair, fully clothed, where electromagnetic waves target and contract the pelvic floor muscles, simulating thousands of Kegel exercises in a short period.

After Emsella treatments, people often report increased confidence and a significant reduction in incontinence episodes. With up to a 95% satisfaction rate, Emsella is an efficient and convenient option for individuals seeking a non-surgical solution to their pelvic floor concerns.

WHO IS AND WHO ISN’T THE RIGHT CANDIDATE FOR ESMELLA?

Typically, women who have undergone childbirth, menopause, or aging-related issues find Emsella a game-changer in regaining their confidence and control. Men can also benefit from Emsella treatments, specifically those experiencing post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence.

The suitable candidates for Esmella include the following:

PEOPLE WITH STRESS URINARY INCONTINENCE

Stress urinary incontinence, a relatively common yet often unspoken issue, involves involuntary urine leakage during activities that exert pressure on the bladder. The leakage can occur when exercising, lifting heavy objects, laughing, coughing, or sneezing. It primarily happens when the muscles and tissues supporting the bladder and urethra, known as the pelvic floor, become weak or damaged.

Stress urinary incontinence usually occurs from childbirth, aging, surgery, or obesity, making it more difficult for the pelvic floor muscles to control bladder function effectively. While the disorder can affect both men and women, it’s more common among women, particularly those who have experienced childbirth, undergone menopause, or have a family history of the condition.

PEOPLE WITH URGE URINARY INCONTINENCE

Urge urinary incontinence, often mistaken for stress urinary incontinence, is unique and intriguing. It presents as an overwhelming and sudden urge to urinate, often leading to an involuntary loss of urine.

The main distinction between the two is that stress urinary incontinence is typically brought on by physical activity or sudden pressure. In contrast, urge incontinence is usually an unpredictable and persistent problem.

Urge incontinence occurs when the bladder’s muscles contract involuntarily, even when the bladder isn’t full. The sudden contraction can occur from various factors, such as nerve damage, aging, or even a urinary tract infection. It’s also more common among women and seniors, especially those who’ve experienced pregnancy or childbirth.

PEOPLE WITH WEAK PELVIC MUSCLES

Weak pelvic muscles can manifest in numerous undesirable ways, affecting the patient’s quality of life. These muscles hold critical organs like the bladder, uterus or prostate, and rectum in place. They tend to weaken with age or due to life events such as pregnancy, childbirth, or surgery.

However, some individuals may be predisposed to having weak pelvic muscles due to genetic or lifestyle factors. Though anyone can experience this issue, it’s prevalent among women who may struggle with urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.

PEOPLE WITH RECTAL INCONTINENCE

Rectal incontinence, also commonly known as bowel incontinence, is a condition that prevents individuals from controlling their bowel movements. It leads to unexpected and involuntary stool or gas leakage, which can be uncomfortable and embarrassing.

The disorder arises from various factors such as nerve damage, weakened muscles, or health issues like severe diarrhea or constipation. While it can affect people of all ages, it’s more prevalent among the elderly and those with specific medical conditions.

WOMEN WITH VAGINAL LAXITY

Vaginal laxity is a common concern among many women, especially after childbirth and among the elderly. It refers to the loosening or stretching the vaginal walls, which can have various physical and emotional implications. It often leads to a lack of self-confidence and decreased sexual satisfaction.

WHO SHOULD NOT UNDERGO EMSELLA?

While Emsella is a safe and non-invasive treatment option for many people, there are certain situations where it may not be recommended. Here are some examples of people who should not undergo Emsella:

• Pregnant women: The safety of Emsella during pregnancy has not been established, so it’s not recommended during pregnancy.
• People with implanted metal devices: The electromagnetic field generated by EmSella may interfere with the functioning of implanted metal devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators, or cochlear implants. People with these devices should not undergo Emsella.
• People with a history of pelvic cancer or recent pelvic surgery: EmSella may not be recommended for people with pelvic cancer or recent pelvic surgery history as it may interfere with the healing process.
• People with neurological disorders: Emsella may not be recommended for people with certain neurological disorders, as the electromagnetic field generated by the device may interfere with nerve signaling.

So, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional to determine if Emsella is an appropriate treatment option for your specific situation, especially if you have any medical conditions or concerns.

CONCLUSION

While Emsella can be an effective solution for many patients, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if it is the right treatment option for you. Good candidates for Emsella include individuals who experience mild to moderate urinary incontinence, have a strong desire to avoid surgery, and are willing to commit to multiple treatment sessions.

Overall, Emsella can provide a safe and effective solution for those seeking to improve their quality of life and regain control over their bladder function.
