Incontinence, a condition affecting millions (!!!) worldwide, can significantly impact your quality of life. While it can be a sensitive topic, it's become my passion to address it openly to help share and explore effective treatment options for those that have this problem! In this blog post, we'll jump right in to the role of the pelvic floor in various types of incontinence and introduce an FDA-approved non-invasive treatment that is providing our patients relief!
Understanding Incontinence and the Pelvic Floor
Incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. We'll talk about the 3 most common types:
- Stress Incontinence: This occurs when physical activities like coughing, sneezing, or lifting weights put pressure on the bladder, leading to urine leakage.
- Urge Incontinence: A sudden, intense urge to urinate, often followed by involuntary leakage. Often when walking by a public bathroom, hearing water running, or just out of nowhere!
- Mixed Incontinence: A combination of stress and urge incontinence.
The pelvic floor muscles, a group of muscles located at the base of the pelvis, play a crucial role in urinary and bowel control. When these muscles weaken, they may not be able to adequately support the bladder and bowel, leading to incontinence.
Kegels done for you - with nothing inside you
Ascend in Lincoln, NE is excited to offer Emsella - a groundbreaking technology that utilizes High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. This non-invasive treatment offers a safe and effective solution for individuals experiencing incontinence. HIFEM energy is applied to the area while you're seated and works through comfy clothes - so feel free to come lounge in your sweatpants!
How Does Emsella Work?
- Muscle Contractions: Emsella induces thousands of supramaximal (stronger than what you can do on your own) pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session.
- Muscle Strengthening: These contractions lead to significant strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles over time.
- Improved Control: Stronger pelvic floor muscles enhance bladder and bowel control, reducing the risk of leakage.
Benefits of Emsella:
- Non-Invasive: No surgery, injections, insertions, etc required. (Keep your clothes on!)
- Painless: The treatment is comfortable and virtually painless.
- Quick Sessions: Each session lasts approximately 28-30 minutes.
- Long-Lasting Results: Patients often experience long-lasting improvements in their symptoms.
If you're struggling with incontinence - now is the time to reclaim your confidence! You don't need to be one of the millions of silent sufferers. Our patients are reporting a decrease in pad usage, increase in control, and improvement in their ability to "hold it!"
