Incontinence (Women & Men)
Incontinence in adults refers to the involuntary loss of urine or feces, and it can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life. The World Health Organization has estimated that up to 20% of all adults worldwide may experience some form of urinary incontinence.
Generally, urinary incontinence is more common in women than in men. Here are some estimates based on age group:
In community-dwelling adult women, estimates suggest that the prevalence of urinary incontinence is up to 40%.
Age-Specific Estimates:
Younger Women (Under 30): The prevalence of urinary incontinence tends to be lower in younger women, with estimate up to 15%.
Middle-Aged Women (30-60): The prevalence increases with age, and in middle-aged women, it is estimated to be up to 30%.
Older Women (Over 60): Among women over the age of 60, the prevalence of urinary incontinence can be higher, ranging up to 40% or more.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy, or Kegels can dramatically help with pelvic floor strength. Both men and women are candidates for the Emsella chair which stimulates over 11,000 Kegels in a half hour session.

Frequently Asked Questions
Incontinence is when the body loses urine or feces involuntarily. The Emsella® chair helps by stimulating over 11,000 Kegels in a 30-minute session, strengthening the pelvic floor and improving bladder control for both men and women.
The Emsella® chair targets pelvic floor muscles, which are vital for bladder control. Stimulating these muscles helps improve continence, reduce urgency, and enhance overall pelvic health in men suffering from incontinence.
The Emsella® chair is non-invasive and comfortable. During treatment, women sit fully clothed on the chair while it emits electromagnetic pulses to stimulate pelvic floor muscles, similar to performing thousands of Kegel exercises.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy and Kegel exercises can significantly improve muscle strength, which is essential for controlling incontinence. The Emsella chair provides a more efficient way to achieve this by stimulating the muscles automatically.
The Emsella chair is safe, with minimal side effects. There may be some muscle fatigue or tingling in the pelvic area following the session, but these sensations subside shortly after the session.
In addition to the Emsella® chair, pelvic floor physiotherapy (Kegels) and Femilift® for women are great options. For those experiencing hormone-related incontinence, Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy may also be beneficial.
