June marks Men’s Health Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about preventable health problems and encouraging early detection and treatment of diseases among men. While conversations around men’s health often focus on cardiac issues, cancers, and mental wellness, pelvic floor health remains an underaddressed yet critical component of men’s overall well-being.
Breaking the Silence on Pelvic Health
Many men experience urinary incontinence, nocturia (frequent nighttime urination), and erectile dysfunction but hesitate to seek treatment due to embarrassment or the misconception that these conditions are inevitable parts of aging. Similarly, women face pelvic floor challenges throughout their lives, especially after childbirth and during menopause. These issues affect not only physical health but can significantly impact quality of life, relationships, and mental well-being for both genders.
“The stigma surrounding men’s pelvic health issues prevents many from accessing effective treatments,” notes Dr. James Wilson, a urologist specializing in men’s health. “Men’s Health Month provides an opportunity to normalize these conversations and highlight innovative solutions available today.”
Understanding Emsella:
A Non-Invasive Breakthrough for All
Emsella represents a significant advancement in treating pelvic floor dysfunction. This FDA-cleared device uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to deliver thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session—equivalent to performing approximately 11,000 Kegel exercises.
Initially gaining popularity for treating women’s incontinence, Emsella has proven equally beneficial for men suffering from similar conditions. The treatment is completely non-invasive and remarkably convenient—patients remain fully clothed during the procedure and can immediately return to daily activities afterward.
Benefits for Men’s Health Concerns
For men specifically, Emsella addresses several common concerns:
Urinary Incontinence: Whether caused by prostate surgery, aging, or other factors, many men experience some degree of urinary leakage. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles with Emsella can significantly reduce or eliminate these symptoms.
Nocturia: Frequent nighttime urination disrupts sleep and affects daytime functioning. By improving bladder control through enhanced pelvic muscle tone, Emsella helps reduce these disruptive episodes.
Erectile Function: The pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in erectile function. Strengthening these muscles can improve blood flow to the genital area and enhance rigidity, addressing mild to moderate erectile dysfunction without medication.
The Treatment Experience
An Emsella session typically lasts 30 minutes, with patients sitting fully clothed on the specially designed chair that houses the electromagnetic technology. Most treatment plans include six sessions over three weeks, with many patients reporting improvements after just a few sessions.
“What makes Emsella particularly suitable for men is its dignity-preserving approach,” explains physical therapist Sarah Chen. “There’s no disrobing, no discomfort, and no downtime—patients can even read or work on their phones during treatment.”
Embracing Comprehensive Men’s Health
This Men’s Health Month, healthcare providers encourage a more holistic view of men’s wellness that includes pelvic health. As awareness grows around non-invasive treatments like Emsella, more men may feel comfortable addressing issues they previously suffered in silence.
By strengthening the foundation of the pelvic floor, men can experience improved urinary control, better sleep through reduced nocturia, and enhanced sexual function—benefits that contribute significantly to overall quality of life and confidence.
The growing acceptance of treatments like Emsella signals a positive shift in men’s health care—one that acknowledges the importance of addressing all aspects of physical well-being without stigma or shame.
