Urinary incontinence is more common than you might think, affecting over 400 million people worldwide. This condition can range from an occasional dribble to a sudden, uncontrollable urge to urinate. While many associate it with aging, urinary incontinence doesn’t discriminate. It can impact anyone, regardless of age or gender.
Many factors can contribute to your symptoms, including pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, obesity, neurological disorders, and medical conditions like diabetes. Take time to understand your condition, then ask an expert about EMSELLA treatments to improve your pelvic health and reduce or completely eliminate your symptoms.
Understanding the different types of urinary incontinence
Urinary incontinence isn’t a one-size-fits-all condition. It presents in several forms:
- Stress incontinence: Pressure on your bladder during activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising leads to leakage. Weakened pelvic floor muscles or a weak urethral sphincter are the most common causes.
- Urge incontinence: This type is usually the result of an overactive bladder, characterized by an intense urge to urinate accompanied by involuntary leaking.
- Overflow incontinence: Urine can leak when the bladder doesn’t empty. This type of leaking is more common in men, especially those with prostate problems.
- Functional incontinence: Occurs when chronic impairments, such as arthritis or dementia, make it difficult to reach the toilet in time.
- Mixed incontinence: This type is just what it seems: a mixture of more than one type. For example, some people experience a combination of stress and urge incontinence, known as mixed incontinence.
Understanding which type of incontinence you have is crucial in determining the best treatment plan.
When to speak with an expert
Feeling awkward about bringing up incontinence with a professional is completely normal. But if your symptoms are happening often or starting to affect how you live your life, it’s essential to get professional advice. Ignoring it might lead to some bigger issues, like:
- Cutting back on activities: You might start avoiding things you enjoy or limiting your social life because you’re worried about accidents.
- Impact on quality of life: Constant worry about leaks can affect your happiness and well-being.
- Increased risk for older adults: Hurrying to the bathroom can increase the risk of falls, which can be particularly hazardous.
- Underlying health issues: Sometimes, incontinence may signal a more serious health condition.
Your journey to better bladder control and improved quality of life could start with just one conversation. So, even though it might be a tough conversation, it’s worth having for your health and peace of mind. VIP Total Health and Hydration experts will discuss your symptoms, thoroughly assess, and create a custom treatment plan that includes EMSELLA treatments to help strengthen your pelvic muscles. They may also suggest lab work to understand your overall health.
The role of labs in creating your treatment plan
Before beginning EMSELLA treatments, comprehensive consultation is essential. During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history and symptoms, accompanied by lab tests, to assess the function and condition of your pelvic floor muscles. The insights gained from these evaluations help your VIP Total Health and Hydration specialist confirm whether EMSELLA is the right choice for you and tailor your treatment plan to address your specific concerns.
EMSELLA treatment overview
EMSELLA is an innovative, non-invasive treatment that strengthens your pelvic floor muscles, which are essential to controlling bladder function. This treatment uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to deeply stimulate these muscles, providing a workout-like effect without any physical effort on your part.
The process is simple and convenient. During each 30-minute session, you’ll sit fully clothed on the EMSELLA chair, which emits electromagnetic waves that cause thousands of muscle contractions. These contractions aren’t painful, though you might feel a mild tingling sensation.
EMSELLA is suitable for both men and women dealing with urinary incontinence, especially those affected by childbirth, aging, or conditions that weaken the pelvic floor muscles. Whether you’re facing stress incontinence or urge incontinence, EMSELLA offers a promising path to relief.
The benefits of choosing EMSELLA
EMSELLA offers several compelling advantages, making it an attractive option for those dealing with urinary incontinence:
- Enhanced bladder control: EMSELLA can significantly improve bladder control by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. For many, this means fewer instances of urinary leakage or even complete elimination of the problem.
- Comfort: The treatment is painless and doesn’t require any special preparation. You might feel tingling or muscle contractions during the session, but it’s generally a comfortable experience.
- Proven effectiveness: EMSELLA can substantially improve urinary incontinence symptoms. Many clients tell us they notice changes after just a few sessions.
While some notice improvements after just one treatment, the most significant results usually appear after completing the entire course of sessions. Many who have undergone EMSELLA treatments report life-changing results. They experience fewer episodes of urinary leakage, boosting their confidence and overall quality of life.
Take the next step toward a confident life
Urinary incontinence doesn’t have to dictate your daily life. Treatments like EMSELLA allow you to take charge of your bladder and restore your confidence. If you’re struggling with incontinence, consider speaking to a VIP Total Health and Hydration specialist about EMSELLA. This simple, effective, and non-invasive treatment could be the key to reducing or eliminating urinary leakage, allowing you to live a more comfortable and confident life.
