EMSELLA URINARY INCONTINENCE TREATMENT ADELAIDE
Emsella MOA video
Urinary incontinence is perhaps more common than you think. More than 5 million Australians suffer from some form of incontinence. Over 60% of women and around 30% of men will be affected by incontinence in some way. Urinary incontinence ranges in severity from a small leak of urine to complete loss of control of your bladder. Unfortunately, many people don’t seek professional help. Bladder control issues can cause stress, anxiety and impact self-confidence. Quality of life and enjoyable activities can be hampered due to the fear of bladder leakage.
Don’t let urinary incontinence control your life any longer. Urinary incontinence can be treated non-surgically with the innovative Emsella Chair. The first step is to talk to your doctor. Call Regenesis, on 08 7225 8810 to book your private consultation with Dr Robin Chok or one of the female doctors on the team.
NON-SURGICAL INCONTINENCE TREATMENT - THE EMSELLA CHAIR
Previously, patients were referred to a physical therapist or surgical intervention was required for urinary incontinence, often with unsatisfactory results. The revolutionary Emsella Chair is an FDA approved medical device, offering patients a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment for incontinence.
Emsella technology uses electromagnetic waves to stimulate over 11,000 supra-maximal (intense) pelvic muscle contractions in a half-hour treatment to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and help regain bladder control.

TYPES OF URINARY INCONTINENCE
Urinary incontinence, uncontrolled bladder leakage or urination urgency affects many women and men. With age, the severity and prevalence of urinary incontinence increases. Incontinence can be caused by ageing, hysterectomy surgery, pregnancy, childbirth, or significant weight changes.
There are three main types of urinary incontinence – stress, urge, and overflow incontinence. Patients may experience one type or mixed.
Stress incontinence
Light bladder leakage or stress incontinence, occurs when pressure is put on the bladder, resulting in uncontrolled urine leakage. Coughing, laughing, sneezing or jumping can cause urine leakage due to increased pressure on the bladder. Involuntary loss of bladder control can be the cause of embarrassment, leading to the restriction or avoidance of enjoyable activities.
Urge incontinence
Intense or sudden urge to urinate, followed by involuntary loss of bladder control are symptoms of urge incontinence. The need to frequently go the toilet, and know where the nearest toilet is at all times often hinders the variety and choice of enjoyable daily activities. Patients typically suffer from disrupted sleep due to the need to frequently wake and go to the toilet during the night.
Overflow incontinence
When the bladder does not empty completely, uncontrolled dribbling of urine can occur. This is referred to as overflow incontinence.
