Can Emsella Help with Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is a common issue that affects millions of people, particularly women who have gone through childbirth or menopause. The sudden leakage that occurs when coughing, laughing, or exercising can be frustrating and impact daily life. If you’re looking for a non-invasive solution, you may have heard about Emsella—but does it really work? Let’s explore how this innovative treatment can help.
What is Emsella?
Emsella is a revolutionary treatment that strengthens the pelvic floor muscles using high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology. It’s a chair-like device that delivers thousands of supramaximal contractions—the equivalent of doing over 11,000 Kegels in just 30 minutes! This strengthens the muscles responsible for bladder control, reducing involuntary leaks and improving overall pelvic health (Bakar et al., 2022).
Who Can Benefit from Emsella?
Emsella is ideal for individuals struggling with:
✔️ Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) – Leakage caused by activities like sneezing, laughing, or running.
✔️ Urge incontinence – Frequent and sudden urges to urinate.
✔️ Weak pelvic floor muscles – Often due to aging, pregnancy, or hormonal changes.
✔️ Postpartum recovery – Helps new moms regain strength in their pelvic muscles.
If you’ve tried Kegel exercises with little success, Emsella can provide a more effective and effortless way to strengthen your pelvic floor (Goldstick & Constantini, 2019).
What to Expect During Treatment
One of the best things about Emsella is that it’s completely non-invasive—no surgery, no downtime. Here’s what a typical treatment looks like:
- You sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair for 30 minutes while the device stimulates your pelvic muscles.
- You may feel a tingling sensation or mild contractions, but it’s painless and comfortable.
- Most patients undergo a series of six sessions, scheduled twice per week for three weeks.
- Results can be noticeable after just a few sessions, with continued improvement over time (Miller et al., 2021).
How Long Do Emsella Results Last?
Many patients experience significant improvement in bladder control after completing the initial treatment series. Results can last between 9-12 months, depending on individual factors. Maintenance sessions may be recommended every six months to sustain the benefits (Moore et al., 2020).
Is Emsella Right for You?
Emsella is a safe and effective option for most people, but it’s not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, have metal implants, tumors, or heart disorders. A consultation with a specialist is the best way to determine if it’s the right solution for you.
