Emsella strengthens the pelvic floor to help with bladder leaks, erectile dysfunction, and premature ejaculation for women and men in Carmel, IN.
Leaking a little when you laugh, sneeze, lift something heavy, or jump on the trampoline with your kids is incredibly common. So is that sudden, can't-wait urge to find a bathroom. A lot of people quietly plan their day around it and never bring it up with anyone. The good news is that it usually comes down to muscles, and muscles can be strengthened.
Emsella is one of the ways we help patients at Shrout Wellness do that. Here is how it works, who it helps, and what to expect for both bladder control and sexual health.
Why Bladder Leaks Happen
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that sits like a hammock at the base of your pelvis. It supports your bladder, bowel, and (for women) uterus, and it helps you hold urine until you are ready to go. When those muscles get weak or stop firing well, leaks and urgency show up.
Common reasons the pelvic floor weakens include:
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Hormone changes during perimenopause and menopause
- Getting older
- Years of heavy lifting or high-impact exercise
- Chronic coughing or constipation
- For men, prostate procedures and normal aging
Why Kegels Alone Often Fall Short
Kegel exercises are the standard advice, and they can help. The problem is that many people are not sure they are squeezing the right muscles, and even fewer keep doing them every day for months. It is hard to build strength in a muscle you cannot see and do not feel working.
How Emsella Works
Emsella uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to trigger deep contractions in the pelvic floor muscles. You sit on the chair fully clothed, and in about 30 minutes it produces thousands of contractions, far more than you could ever do on your own. Over a series of sessions, those contractions help retrain and strengthen the muscles that control your bladder and support sexual function.
There are no needles, no gowns, and no recovery time. Most people feel a tingling or tapping sensation. You can read, scroll your phone, or just relax, then head right back to work or errands.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most patients start with six sessions, usually scheduled twice a week over about three weeks. Many notice a difference partway through the series, and results tend to keep improving for a few weeks after the last visit. Because the pelvic floor is still a muscle, we will talk with you about occasional maintenance sessions to hold onto your progress.
Emsella for Women
We see a lot of women who have had kids and just never felt the same afterward, along with women going through menopause who suddenly notice leaks they never had before. Emsella can help with stress leaks (the kind that happen with coughing, laughing, or exercise) as well as that urgent need to go. Many women also tell us they feel more confident and comfortable with intimacy as their pelvic floor gets stronger.
Emsella for Men: Bladder Control, Erectile Dysfunction, and Premature Ejaculation
Men are often surprised Emsella is for them too. It can help with dribbling, urgency, and frequent trips to the bathroom, and some men use it as part of their recovery after prostate treatment. If you have had prostate surgery, check with your urologist before starting so we can work alongside your care plan.
The same pelvic floor muscles that control your bladder also play a big part in sexual function. They help keep an erection firm by limiting blood flow back out of the penis, and they help you control the timing of ejaculation. When those muscles are weak, erections can be harder to keep and ejaculation can happen sooner than you want. Research has shown that strengthening the pelvic floor can improve both erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, and Emsella gives those muscles a far stronger workout than Kegels alone. The goal is firmer, longer-lasting erections and better control, without pills.
Emsella works best when pelvic floor weakness is part of the problem, and it is not a replacement for a medical evaluation. Erectile dysfunction can sometimes be an early sign of heart disease, diabetes, or low testosterone, so if you have not talked with your doctor about it yet, that is a smart first step. Emsella can be used alongside other treatments your doctor recommends.
Is Emsella Right for You?
Emsella is a good fit for most healthy adults dealing with mild to moderate leaks, urgency, or sexual function concerns tied to a weak pelvic floor who want a non-surgical option. It is not recommended during pregnancy or for people with certain metal or electronic implants near the pelvis, such as a pacemaker or some types of IUDs. We review your health history at your first visit to make sure it is safe for you.
If you have pain when you urinate, blood in your urine, or a sudden change in your symptoms, see your physician first to rule out an infection or other medical issue.
Pair It With Emsculpt Neo for a Core to Floor Approach
Your pelvic floor is the bottom of your core. Many of our patients pair Emsella with Emsculpt Neo Body Sculpting, which strengthens the abdominal muscles above it. Working both together gives your whole core better support, which helps with posture, back comfort, and bladder control.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Emsella hurt?
No. Most people describe it as a strong tingling or tapping. We can adjust the intensity so you stay comfortable.
Do I have to undress?
No. You stay fully clothed the entire time.
Can Emsella help with erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation?
It can help when weak pelvic floor muscles are part of the cause. Stronger pelvic floor muscles support firmer erections and better control over ejaculation. We still recommend talking with your doctor to rule out other causes of ED.
How soon will I see results?
Many patients notice improvement within the first few sessions, with the best results a few weeks after finishing the series.
Can I go back to work afterward?
Yes. There is no downtime.
