The most common reason we see patients develop urinary incontinence is because of childbirth. While many patients struggle with urinary incontinence, there’s a noticeable lack of comfortable, minimally invasive solutions.
However, at Harbour Direct Primary Care, we have the solutions to treat your urinary incontinence after childbirth in Jamestown, RI: Emsella. Here, we’ll explain the timeline of how this noninvasive approach can restore your pelvic floor strength so you can kiss urinary incontinence goodbye.
1 | Healing After Birth
Before undergoing Emsella, you need to let your pelvic floor and the rest of your body naturally heal as much as it can on its own. We suggest waiting 6 to 8 weeks after giving birth to schedule your Emsella appointment.
2 | Consultation
After you’ve taken the time to naturally heal, you’ll meet directly with one of our providers for a one-on-one consultation. They’ll get to know you—your health history, your symptoms, your lifestyle, and more—to determine if Emsella is the right solution for your urinary incontinence.
3 | Treatment
Emsella is a completely noninvasive treatment—you won’t even have to take your clothes off to improve your pelvic floor. You will most likely need about 6 appointments to accomplish your goals, each scheduled about a week apart. However, you and your provider will talk about the severity of your symptoms and adjust how many sessions you need. You may feel odd sensations as your pelvic floor muscles contract rapidly (not like birth contractions), but you should not experience pain or discomfort.
4 | Results & Maintenance
Most patients can expect their results to last about a year. Emsella is not a permanent solution to urinary incontinence, so you and your provider can talk about scheduling regular maintenance treatments every 3 to 6 months to keep up your results.
