I’m Leaking! Let’s Talk About it.

Do you leak a little when you laugh, sneeze or cough? Though it is not a popular topic for social conversations, urinary incontinence affects not less than one in three women. Estimates range as high as 70% when considering women over 50 who have had multiple childbirths. So, LET’S TALK ABOUT IT!

Traditional Treatments

Historically, alternatives for treating stress incontinence include vaginal inserts, such as pessaries, and urethral plugs. All of these have limited efficacy and significant disadvantages and inconveniences. 

Therefore, surgical options like the bladder sling became the standard. 

Pelvic floor muscle exercises are considered first-line treatment for stress incontinence. Women who have had multiple children are usually informed about Kegel’s exercises. Kegel exercises, also called pelvic floor muscle training, are simple exercises you can do to treat bladder problems and even improve bowel control. The exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles that support the bladder, rectum, and uterus.

Introducing: The Emsella Chair

The Emsella Chair is a new device in our treatment arsenal for women's and men's sexual wellness. The device is specifically approved for stress urinary incontinence and uses “high intensity focus electromagnetic muscle stimulation”. It works by stimulating the pelvic floor muscles while you sit on the chair, or, as some call it, the “Kegel Throne”. During a treatment, thousands of involuntary supra maximal contractions occur during a ONE 30-minute session. Emsella exercises the muscles much more than you could on your own. Six (6) sessions, a week apart, are recommended for best results.

More than a significant majority of people see major improvement.

Benefits of Emsella

• It's noninvasive

• You can keep your clothes on 

• Absolutely no pain involved 

• It rivals the results of surgical procedures without the risks of anesthesia, complications of surgery or the prolonged recovery.

• It is at least as effective as medical therapy, likely more effective than prescription drugs used for the same condition.

A Good Candidate?

Good candidates for Emsella are postmenopausal women or those who have had multiple childbirths. Men who've had some mild erectile dysfunction are also good candidates. Women and men frequently benefit by using multiple modalities of treatment that complement each other. Things like bioidentical hormone therapy  and prescription medications can complement the Emsella treatment. Treatments should be customized. Using more than one kind of therapy is much more likely to be successful than trying to put all your confidence in a single form of treatment. 

PRP based treatments can strengthen the floor of the pelvis. Radiofrequency treatments can be beneficial as well.

See? That Wasn’t So Bad

Starting a conversation about how Emsella can help with incontinence is not difficult and can make a huge difference in options for clothing, activity, romance and lifestyle in general.  For more information, visit www.Stopmyleaking.com and, for men, www.edtreatmentatl.com
