Bladder leaks are far more common than most people admit, and far more treatable than most people realize. If you have started avoiding certain activities, planning around bathrooms, or laughing a little more carefully than you used to, you are not alone, and you have options that do not involve surgery. One of them is Emsella.
What causes bladder leaks. Leaks usually come down to a weakened pelvic floor, the group of muscles that support your bladder. Pregnancy, childbirth, aging, and menopause can all weaken these muscles over time. When they weaken, everyday things like coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising can cause leaks. It is a physical, mechanical issue, and it responds to treatment.
How Emsella works. Emsella is a chair you simply sit on, fully clothed, during a short session. It uses focused electromagnetic energy to trigger thousands of pelvic floor contractions in a single session, far more than you could ever do on your own. Over a series of sessions, it strengthens those muscles. There is no surgery, no downtime, and nothing invasive. You sit, and the technology does the work.
Who it can help. Emsella can help both women and men dealing with bladder leaks and pelvic floor weakness. Many people notice improvement over a course of treatments. It is a good option for anyone who wants to address the problem without medication or surgery, and it pairs well with other pelvic floor care when needed.
Bladder leaks are common, but they are not something you simply have to live with. If this has been affecting your daily life, come talk to us about whether Emsella is a good fit for you.
