What is the pelvic floor?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and tissues located at the base of the pelvis, forming a hammock-like structure that supports the pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus (in women), and rectum. These muscles play a crucial role in controlling urine and stool elimination. In addition, the pelvic floor actively contributes to trunk stabilization, posture, and sexual function.
It is therefore essential for maintaining overall health and well-being.
Strengthen your continence with Emsella.
Strengthening the pelvic floor is essential for improving continence and reducing urinary leakage. To better understand how this works, let's take a closer look at the mechanisms of different types of incontinence and how Emsella can help in each case.
Stress incontinence
This type of incontinence occurs when movements such as coughing , sneezing, laughing, or lifting heavy objects cause urinary leakage.
Strengthening the pelvic floor is the first-line treatment for this type of incontinence because it helps to support the pelvic organs and maintain the effective closure of the urinary sphincters.
Thanks to Emsella, which actively stimulates the pelvic muscles, the muscles are strengthened and their support function is improved, thus reducing urinary leakage during physical activities.
Urge incontinence
This type of incontinence is characterized by a sudden and intense sensation of needing to urinate , often associated with a loss of bladder control.
In conjunction with bladder retraining, Emsella can help treat this type of incontinence by promoting better coordination between the pelvic floor muscles and the urinary sphincters , thus improving bladder control.
Mixed incontinence
As its name suggests, mixed incontinence is a combination of stress incontinence and urge incontinence.
Strengthening the pelvic floor with Emsella can target different aspects of mixed incontinence, improving both muscle support for leakage during physical activity and promoting better bladder control .
After childbirth
Childbirth is a major event that can lead to pelvic floor weakness in many women.
This weakness can manifest as urinary leakage or bladder control problems, commonly known as incontinence; it can also affect vaginal sensation and sexual satisfaction .
Emsella treatment is a promising option for women who wish to regain their physical and emotional well-being after pregnancy and childbirth . By strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, it helps restore self-confidence, overall quality of life, and personal fulfillment.
You can start Emsella sessions and restore your well-being as early as 6 weeks after giving birth.
After prostate surgery
After prostate surgery , whether classic or robotic, some men may develop urinary incontinence, mainly due to disruption of the pelvic floor muscles and the urethral sphincter .
This can lead to involuntary urinary leakage, particularly during physical exertion such as coughing, sneezing, or engaging in physical activity.
Strengthening the pelvic floor is crucial for restoring bladder control after surgery.
Emsella allows men to gradually regain control of their bladder and reduce urinary leakage related to post-surgery incontinence .
It is recommended to begin Emsella sessions after a post-surgical recovery period of approximately 6 to 8 weeks . Your surgeon will assess your health and advise you on the optimal time to begin treatment.
