Frequently Asked Questions

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

• Stress incontinence is when there is exerted pressure on the bladder causing leakage. This can be caused by coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising
• Urge incontinence is the sudden, intense urge to urinate frequently
• Mixed incontinence is a combination of both stress and urge incontinence

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.

EMSELLA is a great option for men and women of any age who desire a solution for urinary incontinence and improvement in their quality of life. Studies confirm 95% of patients report an improved quality of life.*

Scientific research indicates that 95% of Emsella patients report significant improvements to their quality of life and a 75% reduction in pad use.

We recognise that every person's body is unique. Our team will only recommend the Emsella to you if we’re confident you’ll benefit from the treatment.

Men and women of any age who are afflicted with levels 0 and 1 stress urinary incontinence are the best candidates. However, the treatment of improving pelvic muscle tone should theoretically help many others in reducing the amount of leaking. This would include many males who have had prostate cancer.

We will tailor a treatment plan just for you. A typical treatment takes about 30 minutes and you will need about 6 sessions, scheduled twice a week.

You will experience tingling and pelvic floor muscle contractions during the procedure. You may resume daily activities immediately after the treatment.

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

The following conditions exclude a candidate from Emsella:

• pregnancy
• cardiac pacemakers
• implanted defibrillators, implanted neurostimulators
• electronic implants
• pulmonary insufficiency
• metal implants
• drug pumps
• hemorrhagic conditions
• anticoagulation therapy
• heart disorders
• malignant tumor
• fever

This treatment would not improve a bladder or uterine prolapse. Men and women considering treatment for urinary incontinence should speak to their doctor first about the potential and known benefits and risks of all available treatment options.
