Bringing a new life into the world is an incredible journey, but it also brings changes to a woman’s body that can impact her quality of life. One common issue that new mothers face is postpartum pelvic floor weakness. This condition can lead to a range of symptoms, from urinary incontinence to decreased intimate satisfaction, which can be both physically and emotionally challenging.
At The Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, we understand the impact that pelvic floor weakness can have on your life. That’s why we offer EMSELLA, an innovative, non-invasive treatment designed to strengthen the pelvic floor and alleviate symptoms associated with postpartum changes.
Understanding Postpartum Pelvic Floor Weakness
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and rectum. During pregnancy and childbirth, these muscles can stretch, weaken, or even tear, leading to reduced strength and function. This can result in symptoms such as:
- Stress urinary incontinence
- Overactive bladder
- Decreased vaginal tightness
- Reduced sexual satisfaction
- Lower back pain
What is EMSELLA?
EMSELLA is a breakthrough treatment designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles through High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology. The device stimulates thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions within a single session, mimicking the effects of intense pelvic floor exercises, such as Kegels.
Unlike traditional methods, EMSELLA is completely non-invasive and requires no downtime. During the treatment, patients remain fully clothed and simply sit comfortably on the EMSELLA chair. Each session lasts about 30 minutes, and most patients describe the sensation as a series of tingling vibrations and muscle contractions.
Conditions EMSELLA Can Treat
While EMSELLA is particularly popular among postpartum women dealing with pelvic floor weakness, it’s also effective in treating a range of other conditions, including:
- Urinary incontinence (stress, urge, and mixed types)
- Decreased pelvic floor strength in men and women
- Sexual dysfunction related to weak pelvic muscles
- Pelvic organ prolapse (as a supportive treatment)
