Pelvic health isn’t something people normally talk about, although it’s essential for physical, social, and sexual well-being. When problems occur, it’s good to know there’s someone you can go to for help. That someone is Dr. Lorna Fedelem from Lorna J. Fedelem, MD – Concierge Medicine & Wellness Center in Naples, FL. We offer Emsella treatment to improve pelvic health and functionality impaired by age, stress, childbirth, or other reasons. These FAQs explain more about Emsella and how it works.
What is Emsella treatment?
Emsella is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to strengthen and retrain pelvic floor muscles to improve their overall functionality.
What conditions can Emsella treat?
Emsella can be an ideal treatment option for urinary or bowel incontinence caused by stress, age, surgery, and/or pelvic muscles that have been weakened by childbirth or other natural causes. It also works in cases where weakened muscles affect sexual intimacy.
How does Emsella treatment work?
Emsella therapy starts with an initial consultation to determine if you’re a good candidate for this treatment. Dr. Lorna will conduct a thorough physical exam and review your medical history to get a clear picture of your current health. If you’re pregnant, trying to get pregnant, use a pacemaker, or have just had surgery, you aren’t eligible for Emsella treatment.
Most treatment regimens include six sessions over a three-week period. Each session lasts for just under half an hour. For your session, you simply walk in, sit on the Emsella pelvic floor chair, and the chair does the rest. Once treatment is over, you can walk out and go about your day as usual.
How long before I see positive results?
Many patients report feeling positive results from their treatment within a few days. For others, it takes a few weeks before results are evident. Optimum results are typically felt four to six weeks after the treatment regimen is completed.
How long do these results last?
On average, Emsella treatment results can last from 6 months to a year. Various factors like your age, weight, exercise and lifestyle habits, overall health, and hormonal changes in your body can affect how long the results last. Maintaining your muscle tone requires diligent aftercare, as pelvic floor decline occurs naturally over time.
Is Emsella safe?
Absolutely! Emsella treatment is FDA-approved. It’s a safe, non-invasive way to boost your pelvic health and function without surgery, medications, or a long recovery.
Are there side effects to Emsella treatment?
Many of our patients experience a tingling sensation when in the Emsella pelvic floor chair, but no discomfort or pain. If you feel pain, develop a fever, or show signs of discharge or infection after treatment, contact Dr. Lorna right away so we can investigate the cause and resolve it without delay.
