Incontinence is a little-discussed issue, that many men and women find embarrassing to talk about. Very few patients will seek help from a physician. Individuals would rather find ways of coping on their own—from using pads or special underwear, limiting fluid intake, and even stopping exercise and activities due to fear of leakage. Urinary incontinence is a common condition that drastically affects quality of life and health. EMSELLA is a non-invasive treatment that helps treat urinary incontinence.

- What is urinary incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine. 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.
2. Are there 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: is the sudden, intense urge to urinate frequently
Mixed incontinence: is a combination of both stress and urge incontinence
3. How does EMSELLA work?
Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine. 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.
4. Why is EMSELLA called the Kegel throne?
EMSELLA utilizes electromagnetic energy, at a high frequency, to cause deep pelvic floor muscle stimulation, which are similar to the contractions you perform when doing a Kegel exercise. One EMSELLA session is the equivalent of 12,000 Kegels.
5. How many sessions of EMSELLA will I need?
The majority of people need a course of six sessions over a period of three weeks to see optimum results, with most people seeing and feeling results after just two or three treatment sessions.
