Urinary incontinence treatment for women and men in White House, TN
The BTL Emsella chair is FDA cleared to treat urinary incontinence in women and men. You sit fully clothed for 28 minutes while it strengthens your pelvic floor muscles.
A symptom, not something you have to live with
Urinary incontinence means leaking urine without meaning to, from a few drops to larger amounts. It is especially common in women after childbirth and menopause, and in men after prostate problems or surgery. There are four main types:
- Stress incontinence: leaking when you laugh, cough, sneeze, lift, or exercise, because the pelvic floor muscles cannot hold urine back.
- Urge incontinence: a sudden, strong need to urinate and leaking before you reach a toilet.
- Mixed incontinence: symptoms of both stress and urge incontinence.
- Overflow incontinence: leaking because the bladder is holding more than it can.
For women: the big three
Childbirth, menopause, and aging all raise the odds that a woman will have bladder leaks. After a pregnancy, some mothers regain control of their pelvic floor muscles, while others are left with tired muscles that cannot hold urine back and need a pad or liner every day.
Many women tell us they want to sneeze, jog, laugh with friends, jump on the trampoline with their kids, take long drives, and sleep through the night without thinking about the next bathroom.
For men
Men leak too. Common causes include an enlarged prostate, prostate surgery, an overactive bladder, weak pelvic floor or sphincter muscles, nerve damage, and diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson's, and MS. Some causes can be treated or reversed, and some cannot.
Many men end up planning their day around restrooms, getting up several times a night, or paying for pads and adult underwear every month.
Treatment on the Emsella chair
The BTL Emsella uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to contract the pelvic floor muscles. BTL describes one 28-minute session as the equivalent of 11,200 Kegel exercises. Over a series of sessions, the goal is stronger muscles and better bladder control.
- 28-minute sessions, and you stay fully clothed
- The usual plan is 6 treatments, twice a week for 3 weeks
- Some patients come back for maintenance every few months
- No surgery, no added medication, and no downtime
- FDA cleared for urinary incontinence in women and men
How Emsella compares with other treatments
Your doctor may suggest physical therapy, medication, vaginal inserts, bladder training, or surgery. For men, options also include medication for an enlarged prostate, catheters, injections, and surgery. Some of these take a lot of time and privacy, medicines can have side effects, and surgery needs recovery time.
Emsella is a non-surgical option you can try before medication or surgery, or alongside other care. Talk with your own doctor about what is right for you.
The cost of doing nothing
Pads, liners, and adult underwear are a cost that repeats every month. Many patients compare that with the one-time cost of a course of Emsella treatments. Financing is available.
Bowel leakage
Emsella's FDA clearance covers urinary incontinence. Strengthening the pelvic floor may also help some people with bowel leakage, which is an off-label use. Ask us if this applies to you.
What Emsella patients tell us
Emsella is a game changer! I went from years of crossing legs before coughing or sneezing to try and prevent leakage to no worries and no leakage. It happens! Especially to the women who have given birth and you think it's normal and have to deal with but there is treatment! Easy fast treatment in my experience. I just sit for 28 min and go about my day. 6 treatments later and I feel confident I don't have to worry about rushing to a rest room or taking the caution stance to prevent embarrassment. Thank you to whoever created this amazing chair!
I was getting up three to four times a night to go to the bathroom. Now, this week (he finished 6 treatments last week), it is down to zero. I go to bed, sleep all night, and then get up and go to the bathroom. I get more rest now than I ever got.
I had to plan my day around convenient restrooms... It interfered with my lifestyle... (after 6 treatments) I am doing fantastic! I feel like I am a more normal person; I go to bed around 10:30 or 11 and wake up about 7 to go to the restroom. It's given me a new lease on life!
I am a mother of 3 and have had a lot of strain on my bladder over the years. Several things I have noticed after treatment with Emsella. I no longer make multiple visits to the bathroom after waking up. I can now make a two hour drive without being terribly uncomfortable.
This has been the biggest life changing thing that has ever happened to me. I no longer have to schedule my trips around where the next bathroom is. I arrived home the other night about 6:45 and when I went to bed at 11:00 I realized I had not gone to the bathroom since I had been home. Previously I would have gone a minimum of 9-10 times during that length of time. I will be forever eternally grateful for getting a life that I never had. I am 66 and have been dealing with these issues for 64 of those years with surgeries and dilations and no success until now. I have a life for the first time in my life.
Let me tell you what I experienced. I should have been dreaming of rainbows and butterflies but instead, many times, I dreamt of frantically looking for a bathroom and not always finding one in time. That shows just how much incontinence controlled my body and my mind, every minute of every day. However, my life changed after completing the recommended number of treatments on the Emsella chair. I will always remember Independence Day 2025, not only for being the birthday of our great nation but also because that was the first time in many years that I slept through the entire night without having “to go.” I'm not making this up, I swear it's true. That's why I'm encouraging you to try it for yourself.
Wave It Away in White House, TN has the Emsella chair and also a very generous payment plan if needed. Instead of reading other peoples' success stories, you could be writing your own. As a final note, not only does this treatment work for women, but it also works for men.
Take back your control from your bladder and live your amazing life as you choose without having to plan your day based on the next “potty stops.” I did and my dreams are now my own.
