Emsella® Treatments for Incontinence

Both men and women can suffer from a weak pelvic floor, leading to incontinence and decreased sexual satisfaction. Incontinence can limit your life in many ways and can affect both men and women. While some people may only leak a few drops when sneezing, coughing, exercising, or even laughing, others are forced to bring extra clothing, or wear disposable undergarments. Incontinence affects a variety of things especially for those that love sports, outdoor activities, and/or traveling.

Fortunately, a breakthrough, non-invasive treatment is now available for incontinence: EMSELLA. We are thrilled to offer this treatment as we are the only provider in North Dakota with this non-invasive technology. EMSELLA treatment is an easy, painless, comfortable, and effective way to greatly improve your quality of life as you age. All you do is sit on the EMSELLA chair, fully dressed, for a 28-minute non-invasive treatment, while you read a book, or magazine, mild electrical pulses stimulate muscle contractions. 

Men can suffer from urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction due to aging, surgical prostatectomy, being overweight, or even chronic coughing. A stronger pelvic floor means an improved ability to maintain erections. Over time, men should see a reduction in incontinence and a greater blood retention in the penis. EMSELLA increases penile rigidity and hardness and increases control over ejaculation. A strong pelvic floor supports your digestive system and can relieve constipation. 

In women, incontinence often begins with pregnancy or childbirth, after menopause, from being overweight or chronic coughing. A loss of muscle tone and blood flow to the vaginal area can be one cause that makes sexual pleasure and orgasm more difficult to achieve. EMSELLA works by re-educating the pelvic floor muscles, but also permanently increases blood flow to the pelvic floor and perineal area in women. The tissues of the vagina, labia and clitoris become more sensitive.

Patients usually need 6 sessions, scheduled twice a week. You may notice an improvement after just one session, though results tend to continue to improve over the following weeks. Why not just do Kegels? Kegel exercises are training the pelvic floor muscles, you could do 3 sets a day of 10-15 repetitions, or spend a single session in the EMSELLA chair which equates to 11,000 kegels in a single session. You would need to do pelvic floor training for 244 days to see the same results of a single session. This FDA approved treatment for urinary incontinence for men and women has a 95% effective rate.
