Emsella in Memphis

Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support your bowels, bladder, and reproductive organs. These muscles are vital for maintaining sexual function and wellness.

Over time, these muscles weaken because of certain factors, such as:

• Pregnancy
• Childbirth
• Obesity
• Pelvic surgeries
• Prostate cancer treatment

As the stress on the pelvic floor muscles increases, it can cause them to lose function and grow weaker with time. This process can have a significant impact on your bladder control and sexual health.

There are several different types of incontinence.

• Stress Incontinence: Typically, intramuscular pressure (such as coughing or physical activity) against a weakened pelvic floor can cause unwanted leaks.
• Urge Incontinence: Urge incontinence is related to the nerves. This almost always relates to an underlying disease (e.g., diabetes; neurogenic bladder, heavier prostate weighing on the pelvic floor). Note: urge incontinence cannot be treated with Emsella.
• Mixed: If you feel you simply “need to go frequently,” you may have a combination of stress and urge incontinence. This can be caused by certain cancers, or another interruption of the abdominal wall or pelvic floor.

If you aren’t sure which type of incontinence you are experiencing, don’t hesitate to reach out! The team at A Beautiful You in Memphis is highly knowledgeable in these conditions and can advise you on the best course of action for treatment.

There are a variety of risk factors for stress urinary incontinence, including:

• Aging: Anyone over the age of 30 can be at risk for developing urinary incontinence
• Pregnancy, and/or Vaginal Delivery
• Menopause: This drop in hormones will deplete the musculature of the pelvic floor

If you struggle incontinence or sexual dysfunction, seeking evaluation and treatment can feel intimidating. But nearly anyone is a candidate for Emsella in Memphis, so don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation at A Beautiful You Medical Spa to learn more!

Those who cannot receive treatment with the Emsella device are those who:

• Are under the age of 18—in these patients, muscle development may not yet be fully complete.
• Have any metal implants or electronic implants, such as a pacemaker or IUD.
• Are experiencing a complete organ prolapse.
• Are currently pregnant.

That said, if you are currently trying to conceive but are not yet pregnant, Emsella in Memphis may be a great way to help strengthen your pelvic floor before becoming pregnant and birthing a child. In addition, once your doctor clears you after childbirth, Emsella can help you strengthen your pelvic floor and potentially speed up your body’s overall recovery time!

How long your Emsella results last depends on each individual, but it ranges between 6 months to 1 year. We recommend maintenance treatments as needed.

No, Emsella is not painful. It is an easy, non-invasive urinary incontinence treatment. Most patients report it feels like a mild tingling sensation in the pelvic area. You won’t even need to get undressed! Simply remove any metal jewelry, take a seat on the Emsella chair, and relax.

At A Beautiful You Medical Spa, we’re dedicated to helping you strengthen your pelvic floor muscles to alleviate uncomfortable symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. For many patients, they can often benefit from a course of 6 sessions. Each session lasts less than 30 minutes, and you can return to your normal activities following Emsella treatment.
