Stress incontinence is a common issue—as many as 1 in 3 people AFAB (assigned female at birth) experience stress incontinence sometime in their life. However, there are few treatments for stress incontinence that do not require invasive methods like surgery.
At Harbour Direct Primary Care, we offer Emsella as a noninvasive stress incontinence treatment in Jamestown, RI. Here, we’ll discuss how Emsella can help treat stress incontinence and how to determine if Emsella is right for you.
The Cause of Stress Incontinence
While there are numerous causes of stress incontinence, the ultimate cause is trauma to the pelvic floor. Chronic straining, childbirth, and surgery are just some specific situations that can cause trauma to the pelvic floor. This causes your pelvic floor to strain and stretch, and since your pelvic floor muscles support organs like your bladder, it can result in leaks whenever you sneeze, jump, run, or laugh.
How Emsella Improves Stress Incontinence
Emsella is a revolutionary piece of technology because it tightens and strengthens your pelvic floor without using invasive methods. It does this by using HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic) energy that stimulates over 11,000 contractions within your pelvic floor muscles. The contractions provide an intense workout by creating microtears in the muscles. This causes your body to build stronger and tighter muscle fibers by increasing collagen and elastin production.
Collagen and elastin are proteins your body naturally makes to keep your organs, muscles, and skin flexible and stretchy. The production of these proteins decreases over time, and by using Emsella, you can naturally increase your body’s production of collagen and elastin. This makes your muscles tighter and stronger than before, increasing your control over your bladder and other surrounding organs to reduce leaks.
