Emsella for Stress Urinary Incontinence
Stress urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine that happens during physical activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting.
Emsella strengthens the pelvic floor muscles that support the urethra, improving the ability to resist leakage during those sudden increases in pressure.
How Emsella addresses stress incontinence
Emsella strengthens the pelvic floor muscles that support the urethra. Stronger, better-coordinated muscles can improve the ability to resist leakage during sudden increases in pressure.
Common reported improvements
- Reduced leakage during coughing or sneezing
- Better control during exercise or lifting
- Decreased need for protective pads during activity
- Greater confidence in physical and social situations
Treatment approach
A standard course of six sessions is most commonly used. Results develop progressively and often continue to improve for several weeks after the final session.
Emsella is particularly useful for individuals who have difficulty performing effective voluntary Kegel exercises or who want a structured, high-intensity method of strengthening the pelvic floor.

Can Emsella stop leakage when I cough or sneeze?
Reduced leakage during coughing or sneezing is one of the commonly reported improvements. Emsella strengthens the pelvic floor muscles that support the urethra, improving resistance to sudden pressure increases.
How long before stress incontinence improves with Emsella?
