ABOUT EMSELLA

Say no to bladder leakage with EMSELLA.

In Central Oregon, we are on the go. From hiking and biking to skiing and climbing, the outdoors beckon us to play every day. But bathrooms aren’t always accessible in some of the most beautiful parts of our great outdoors. Battling with urinary incontinence can create challenges, not only for enjoying all of the recreation opportunities outside our doors but for enjoying life in general.

If you are someone who has struggled with urinary incontinence and is tired of having to know where every bathroom is located when you are out and about, EMSELLA may be a life-changing alternative worth exploring.
If you have to limit your activities or opt out of fun opportunities to play hard with your children, EMSELLA may be right for you. Don’t have issues with incontinence but could use a boost in your sex life? EMSELLA can help enhance your sexual health as well!

STRESS INCONTINENCE

Leakage occurs when stress is placed on the bladder. Examples of high-impact activities that stress the bladder include sneezing, coughing, running, jumping, etc. Have you jumped on a trampoline lately?!

Urge incontinence

Leakage that occurs suddenly and frequently, sometimes described as that “gotta go, gotta go, gotta go go go feeling.” For example, you arrive home and suddenly have a strong need to urinate - leakage often occurs on the way to the bathroom.

Overflow incontinence

Leakage occurs as a result of your bladder not completely emptying each time you urinate; leakage is from the overflow of a full bladder. This type of incontinence is often associated with underlying medical conditions.

Mixed incontinence

A combination of several types of incontinence that leads to leakage issues, most commonly stress and urge incontinence.

FAQs

frequently asked questions

What is EMSELLA?
EMSELLA is a breakthrough treatment for both MEN and WOMEN with urinary incontinence and is clinically proven to improve incontinence of ALL types by about 70%! As a non-surgical and non-pharmaceutical alternative to many traditional treatments, EMSELLA uses high-frequency electromagnetic or HiFEM energy to deliver thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session. Even if you are religiously doing your kegels, it is impossible to do 11,000 kegels in 28 minutes, let alone 11,000 maximally effective contractions, like EMSELLA will create.
How does it work?
EMSELLA is non-invasive. During the treatment, you are fully clothed and will sit on a special seat designed to deliver focused electromagnetic (HiFEM) energy to your pelvic floor. In one 28-minute session, you will receive thousands of pelvic floor muscle contractions or the equivalent of 11,000 kegels. Each contraction strengthens your pelvic floor and gets you one step closer to improved bladder control. No sweat or towels are necessary for this pelvic floor workout!
How does the treatment feel?
EMSELLA is NOT a painful procedure. The treatment starts as a vibrating or tingling sensation and moves through several different contraction patterns, where the patient can feel their pelvic floor muscles contracting. Most people describe their first treatment as unusual and intense (they have never felt a kegel like that before!) but NOT painful. Once you know what to expect, subsequent treatments are a breeze.
How many treatments will I need?
Most people start with a series of six treatments, delivered about twice weekly for three weeks. Individuals with more significant symptoms may benefit from more treatments. You will receive a personalized consultation before you embark on your EMSELLA journey, and Dr. Carey will customize a treatment plan based on your unique needs.

How does EMSELLA compare to pelvic floor physical therapy (PT)?
Many people benefit from pelvic floor PT, and we appreciate the expertise of our physical therapy colleagues. We also partner with several PTs in Bend who feel their patients would benefit from EMSELLA. EMSELLA is instrumental for people that have difficulty achieving effective kegels, despite the guidance of their physical therapist. Additionally, pelvic floor PT typically involves an internal exam, which can be intimidating or uncomfortable for some individuals. With EMSELLA, there is no internal exam or probe, meaning this procedure has NO invasive component.
Is EMSELLA safe for everyone?
Some essential contraindications to be aware of include active cancer, pregnancy, cardiac pacemakers or other implanted devices, and metal in the treatment area, including the copper or Paraguard IUD. (Don’t worry. Mirena is okay!) If you are interested in this procedure, be assured that you will undergo a full consultation to ensure this treatment is appropriate and safe for you.
You mentioned Sexual Health. Let’s talk more about that!
The HiFEM energy that EMSELLA utilizes to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles stimulates muscle growth, which also involves improved blood flow and additional nerve endings. For women, this results in enhanced sensation and increased desire. And guess what, fellas, sexual performance is improved for men, also by improved blood flow. This is especially effective in male cyclists who have developed scarring in the area of the prostate, men who have undergone prostate surgery, or men who have erectile dysfunction related to blood flow issues. EMSELLA is a non-invasive treatment that helps with incontinence in men and women and also improves our sex lives. Any takers?
