Emsella

For women, we use this device to improve or resolve both stress and urge incontinence. Stress incontinence is diagnosed when patients experience leakage of urine with coughing, sneezing, and lifting (or jumping, laughing, and working out!). Urge incontinence occurs when the urge to urinate is followed quickly by leakage of urine, regardless of whether you had time to make it to a toilet. Each of these scenarios can result in embarrassment, avoidance of social situations or sexual intimacy, the financial burden of absorbent pads or underwear, and decreased quality of life. Incontinence affects 1 in 4 women, but in studies only 25-60% of affected women ever inform their doctor. Many women experience these symptoms in the postpartum period, when they are already exhausted and struggling with the new or increasing demands of motherhood. Older patients feel that these changes are just the normal consequences of aging and childbirth. We want to take away the stigma and have the opportunity to improve or cure incontinence issues, without any embarrassing internal devices. The EmSella was superior to vaginal TENS units in studies, and creates more organized pelvic floor contractions in less time than traditional pelvic floor therapy – in a fraction of the time. Another program on the device is designed for sexual function. In strengthening the pelvic floor, orgasms become stronger and easier to achieve. Improved blood flow to the pelvis and vaginal tissues results in better lubrication and decreased uncomfortable friction. These changes provide improved sexual function and more enjoyment of sexual intimacy.
