Urinary Incontinence: It’s Not Just Aging. Emsella Can Help!
Experiencing unexpected bladder leaks can be frustrating, embarrassing, and truly impact your daily life. Many people chalk it up to “just getting older,” or something you have to live with after childbirth. But here at Family Medicine Institute in Winter Garden, we want you to know the truth: Urinary Incontinence: It’s Not Just Aging. Emsella Can Help! You are absolutely not alone in this struggle, and more importantly, you don’t have to live with it.
Understanding Urinary Incontinence: It’s Not Just Aging. Emsella Can Help!
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. It’s incredibly common, affecting millions of men and women, but it’s not an inevitable part of aging. While age can be a factor, it’s often the weakening of the pelvic floor muscles that’s the real culprit. These muscles act like a hammock, supporting your bladder, uterus (in women), and bowel. When they become weak or lose their tone, they can’t effectively control the flow of urine.
Several factors can contribute to this weakening, including:
- Childbirth: The strain of pregnancy and delivery can stretch and weaken pelvic floor muscles.
- Menopause: Decreasing estrogen levels can thin and weaken pelvic tissues.
- Prostate issues (in men): Enlarged prostate or prostate surgery can impact bladder control.
- Obesity: Extra weight puts added pressure on the pelvic floor.
- Chronic coughing or straining: Conditions like chronic bronchitis or constipation can weaken the muscles over time.
- Certain medical conditions: Neurological disorders, for instance, can affect bladder control.
The good news is that because it’s often a muscle issue, it can be treated!
Emsella: A Breakthrough in Pelvic Floor Strengthening
At Family Medicine Institute, we’re thrilled to offer Emsella, a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment specifically designed to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. You might be thinking, “How can a chair do that?” Well, Emsella uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to induce thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions in just one 28-minute session. These contractions are far more intense and numerous than you could ever achieve with Kegel exercises alone.
Think of it like this: one Emsella session is equivalent to performing approximately 11,200 Kegels! This incredible stimulation rapidly re-educates and strengthens your weakened pelvic floor muscles. Subsequently, as these muscles regain their strength and tone, they provide better support to the bladder and urethra, leading to significantly improved bladder control and reduced leakage.
What to Expect with Emsella
The Emsella treatment is simple, comfortable, and discreet. You remain fully clothed and sit on the Emsella chair. You’ll feel a tingling sensation and strong pelvic floor contractions. There’s no downtime, so you can immediately return to your daily activities after each session. A typical treatment course usually consists of six sessions, twice a week, over three weeks. Many patients reported noticeable improvement after just a few sessions!
Reclaiming Your Confidence and Quality of Life
Imagine being able to laugh, sneeze, cough, or exercise without the worry of leakage. Imagine enjoying social activities or simply going for a walk with renewed confidence. Emsella offers the chance to regain control over your bladder and, by extension, your life. You don’t have to carry extra pads, scout for restrooms, or limit your activities.
