Urinary incontinence can be a frustrating and embarrassing condition, causing unexpected urine leakage that can interfere with your daily life and confidence.
This common issue persists despite your best efforts because it often stems from underlying structural problems, primarily weakened pelvic floor muscles. These muscles are essential for bladder control, and when they lose strength, they can no longer provide the support needed to prevent leaks.
The good news is that advanced, non-invasive technology like Emsella® offers a safe and effective way to address the root cause of incontinence. Contact us today to schedule your personalized consultation and learn how you can regain control and confidence.
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine, and it occurs when the muscles and nerves that help the bladder hold or release urine are not working correctly.
There are several types of incontinence, each with different causes and triggers.
Urge Incontinence (Overactive Bladder): This involves a sudden, intense urge to urinate, followed by an involuntary loss of urine. It is caused by involuntary contractions of the bladder muscle (detrusor muscle).
Stress Incontinence: This is the most common type, where urine leaks during physical activities that put pressure on the bladder, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising. It is primarily caused by a weakened pelvic floor that can no longer support the urethra.
Mixed Incontinence: Many women experience a combination of both stress and urge incontinence symptoms.
Pelvic floor changes rarely arrive on their own. If yours began alongside changes in sleep, energy or your cycle, our menopause and pelvic health program addresses both the hormonal cause and the pelvic floor itself.
When to Seek Help
You should consider seeking help for urinary incontinence if:
- You are embarrassed by urine leakage and avoid activities you enjoy
- You frequently rush to the bathroom or worry about finding a restroom
- Your sleep is disrupted by the need to urinate
- Your quality of life is negatively impacted by bladder control issues
The pelvic floor is a crucial and complex group of muscles that form a supportive sling at the base of your pelvis.
These muscles are crucial for supporting the pelvic organs, including the bladder, and for maintaining control over urination. When the pelvic floor muscles are weakened, they cannot effectively close off the urethra, leading to urine leakage, especially during moments of increased abdominal pressure.
Several factors can contribute to pelvic floor weakness, including pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, natural aging, and chronic straining. The hormonal changes associated with menopause, particularly the gradual decline in estrogen, can also lead to a significant loss of muscle tone and elasticity in the pelvic floor, further contributing to incontinence.
What Causes Urinary Incontinence?
While pelvic floor weakness is a primary cause, several other factors can exacerbate urinary incontinence:
Hormonal Changes
The decline in estrogen during perimenopause and menopause can weaken pelvic tissues and contribute to both stress and urge incontinence.
Pregnancy and Childbirth
The strain of pregnancy and vaginal delivery can stretch and weaken the pelvic floor muscles.
Aging
Natural aging can lead to a loss of muscle mass and tone throughout the body, including the pelvic floor.
Excess Weight
Being significantly overweight increases the pressure on the bladder and pelvic floor muscles, which can worsen incontinence.
Chronic Coughing or Straining
Conditions that cause chronic coughing or straining can put repeated pressure on the pelvic floor.
Treatment Options Overview
At Boutiq Medical Clinic, we focus on evidence-based, non-invasive treatments that address the root cause of urinary incontinence. We are proud to offer Emsella®, a breakthrough treatment that strengthens the pelvic floor and restores bladder control.
Emsella® for Pelvic Floor Strength
Emsella® is the first and only FDA-cleared device to treat urinary incontinence using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology. This revolutionary treatment provides a completely non-invasive solution to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and improve bladder control. By inducing thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session, Emsella® effectively retrains weak or overstretched muscles. Over a series of treatments, this helps restore muscular tone, improve pelvic support, and reduce episodes of urinary leakage, enhancing both confidence and quality of life. Treatments are quick, comfortable, and require no downtime, making them easy to fit into your routine.
How Emsella® Works
During an Emsella treatment, you sit fully clothed on a specialized chair that emits HIFEM energy. This energy stimulates deep and intense contractions of the pelvic floor muscles, equivalent to performing thousands of Kegel exercises in a single session. These powerful contractions re-educate the muscles, restoring their strength and neuromuscular control. The treatment also helps improve blood flow and tissue tone in the pelvic region, supporting overall bladder control and pelvic health. Over a series of sessions, the cumulative effect of these contractions strengthens the pelvic floor, enhancing both functional support and comfort in daily activities. The procedure is non-invasive and requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. Each session typically lasts about 30 minutes, and patients can resume normal activities immediately afterward while gradually noticing improvements in strength, control, and confidence.
Benefits of Emsella®
- Addresses the root cause of incontinence by strengthening the pelvic floor
- Significant improvement in bladder control and reduction in urine leakage
- Non-invasive and completely painless
- No downtime or recovery period
Treatment Process
A typical Emsella treatment plan consists of six sessions, scheduled twice a week for three weeks. Each session is approximately 28 minutes long. Most patients begin to notice improvements after just a few sessions, with optimal results appearing a few weeks after the final treatment.
Recovery and Results
There is absolutely no downtime with Emsella. You can return to your normal daily activities immediately after each session. The results of the treatment continue to improve over the following weeks as the pelvic floor muscles become stronger. Many patients experience long-lasting results with a significant improvement in their quality of life.
