Patient Testimonial
We have treated moms who do crossfit or gym workouts who leak as they progress through their workouts. These women are in good shape. With Emsella, they were able to achieve supramaximal contractions that significantly improved or cured their leakage. No matter how hard you work out, you cannot get the same sort of muscle contraction that Emsella can achieve.
We cannot guarantee Emsella will work for everyone. We cannot guarantee surgery will work for everyone. However, after a vaginal delivery, the pelvic floor undergoes significant stress and leakage can result. Emsella provides the high intensity supramaximal contractions that can revert your pelvic floor back to normal.
Options for leakage with urgency include dietary changes (less coffee and teas!) as well as medication. Most of our patients are frustrated with the thought of life long medication. The medications can be expensive, have side-effects, and are a band-aid for the underlying condition. Studies have shown that the muscles in post-menopausal women can be debilitated. With a full work up, Emsella could be an option.
Emsella is now FDA approved for men. In our experience, we have seen encouraging results. Some men require a liner or small pad for small amounts of leakage after radical prostatectomy. These men may leak during a heavy work out or towards the end of the day. Emsella has helped the majority of these men return to continence. Men who have had radiation and surgery have not seen much improvement, but numbers are limited.
Some men have not had surgery but they have significant urges to always go urinate. The prostate is not a problem for these men. These men have seen good results with Emsella.
Studies have shown improvement with 6 treatment packages. We offer this therapy protocol. However, we have seen results even with a few treatments. Once the muscles are conditioned, the goal is to stay active and do kegels to keep your gains achieved with Emsella.
Studies have shown good results with up to 60% improvement in symptoms. However, we have patients who have been very happy with a monthly plan. One session every month can fit in almost anyone's busy schedule. Consult with our urologists to see if this might work for you.
