Emsella in Frisco

Urinary incontinence affects over 25 million Americans every year, and yet, it’s a topic that many patients feel embarrassed to talk about—so, what’s it look like?

If you have experienced urgent and frequent need to urinate, accidental leaks, or lose control over your bladder regularly, then you may have urinary incontinence.

At The Stoehr Center, we offer Emsella in Frisco to treat the symptoms of urinary incontinence. Each type of urinary incontinence has its nuances:

• Stress incontinence happens when you put pressure on your bladder—coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising are all examples of bladder pressure.
• Urge incontinence is when you feel an intense, sudden urge to urinate, which can be followed by involuntary loss of urine. This can happen multiple times a day.
• Overflow incontinence happens because your bladder isn’t able to completely empty, resulting in constant dribbling of excess urine in your bladder.
• Functional incontinence can be a physical or mental health concern that makes it almost impossible to reach the toilet in time.
• Mixed incontinence is usually a combination of the other types of incontinence—typically manifesting as stress and urge incontinence together.

The short of it—Emsella is a noninvasive, FDA-approved treatment designed to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. Emsella uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to target the key muscles that support bladder control.

This advanced technology stimulates your pelvic muscles with over 10,000 pelvic floor contractions in just a 30-minute session. These contractions can support the rebuilding of muscle strength and tone in the pelvic region, significantly reducing or even eliminating bladder leakage.

Most patients have reported that one of the most comforting aspects of Emsella is that it’s a noninvasive, pain-free procedure.

During treatment, you will sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair. Once started, you may feel some mild sensations as the stimulated pelvic muscles contract—similar to the feeling of a good workout. Emsella is designed with comfort in mind, making it relaxing and easy to fit into your schedule.

How many treatments you need will depend on the severity of your symptoms and your unique needs. Most patients notice improvements in their urinary incontinence symptoms after just a few sessions. Typically, we recommend a full course of 6 treatment sessions, spread over the course of about 3 to 4 weeks—depending on your schedule.

You might notice improvements in your bladder control after just a few sessions, while others may require a full set of Emsella treatments. To get the best, longest lasting results, we recommend scheduling periodic maintenance treatments.

The benefits of receiving care with Emsella in Frisco can be long-lasting—up to 12 months! Most patients see significant improvements with their urinary incontinence symptoms for 6 to 12 months after a full course of treatment.
To enhance their results, some patients opt to get periodic touch-up treatments every 3 to 4 months if they experience any symptoms. Emsella treatments are like a workout for your pelvic floor. It’s a great way to keep your pelvic muscles in shape, just like regular exercise does for your body.

It absolutely can! In addition to treating symptoms of urinary incontinence, we also use Emsella to enhance sexual sensation and satisfaction for our patients. Your pelvic floor muscles play a huge role in your sexual health, and Emsella can help restore intimacy by strengthening these muscles. On top of addressing urinary incontinence, Emsella can improve your overall pelvic health.
