About Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary
leakage of urine. This might be a result of weak
pelvic floor muscles since pelvic floor muscles
play an important role in supporting pelvic organs
and controlling continence.
There are three different types of urinary incontinence:
There are three different types of urinary incontinence:
- Stress incontinence: is when there is exerted pressure on the bladder causing leakage. This can be caused by coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising.
- Urge: is the sudden, intense urge to urinate frequently.
- Mixed incontinence: is a combination of both stress and urge incontinence.
Physiological changes can contribute to the development
of urinary incontinence; changes such as vaginal
delivery, menopause, and aging can decondition
pelvic floor muscles. In order to improve symptoms,
it is important to strengthen these muscles. Possible
ways to improve your condition may include lifestyle
changes and Kegel exercises.
MECHANISM OF ACTION:
BTL EMSELLA is the HIFEM® procedure, that utilizes
electromagnetic energy, at a high frequency, to cause
pelvic floor muscle stimulation completely non-invasively.
Similar to the contractions you perform when doing
a Kegel exercise. What makes this treatment effective
is the in-depth penetration and stimulation of the entire
pelvic floor area. A single session brings you thousands
of intense contractions that you would not be able to do
on your own. These contractions are very helpful when
it comes to muscle strengthening and re-education.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE TREATMENT?
During BTL EMSELLA treatment you will be completely
clothed yet, we recommended loosely fitted clothing
to help achieve best positioning during treatment.
When the treatment starts you will feel slight
tingling and vibrations in your pelvic floor muscles
that will then turn into full contractions. This will be
completely comfortable and tolerable. If not, please
let your healthcare provider know and they will adjust
accordingly. Take this 28-minute session to relax,
read a magazine, or watch television. You will be able
to return to normal activities after the treatment.
