What Is Urinary Incontinence?

Recognizing a Common, Treatable Condition

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of bladder control, ranging from occasional leakage with a cough or sneeze to sudden, urgent loss that disrupts daily life. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, an estimated 25 to 50 percent of women and up to 17 percent of men experience some form of urinary incontinence during their lifetime.

The condition is more common after childbirth, during perimenopause, and following prostate surgery, but it can affect adults of any age. Despite how prevalent it is, many patients delay seeking care because they feel embarrassed or believe leakage is a normal part of aging. It is not. Urinary incontinence is a medical condition with effective, non-invasive options.

At Evolving Mind and Body in Auburndale, FL, Erin Garza, APRN, FNP-C, evaluates each patient for the underlying type of incontinence and recommends targeted care, including pelvic floor therapy with Emsella, a fully clothed, FDA-cleared treatment that strengthens the entire pelvic floor in 28-minute sessions.

Why Urinary Incontinence Happens
The Science

Why Urinary Incontinence Happens

Understanding Pelvic Floor Function

The pelvic floor is a hammock of muscles and connective tissue that supports the bladder, urethra, and surrounding pelvic organs. When these muscles weaken or become uncoordinated, the bladder loses its support system and the urethra can no longer fully close under pressure. The result is leakage, urgency, or both. The American Urological Association recognizes pelvic floor weakness as a primary contributor to stress incontinence in women and post-prostatectomy incontinence in men.

Stress incontinence occurs when increased abdominal pressure from coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercise overcomes a weakened pelvic floor. Urge incontinence, often called overactive bladder, happens when the bladder muscle contracts involuntarily, creating sudden, intense urges. Many patients experience mixed incontinence, a combination of both. In men, urinary incontinence frequently follows prostate surgery and responds well to pelvic floor strengthening.

Hormonal changes also play a role. Declining estrogen during perimenopause and menopause thins the urethral lining and reduces pelvic tissue elasticity. For some patients, addressing these contributors with hormone replacement therapy alongside pelvic floor strengthening produces meaningful improvement.

How Emsella Strengthens the Pelvic Floor

The Science Behind Non-Invasive Treatment

Emsella uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to induce thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions during a single 28-minute session. A typical Kegel exercise produces a single voluntary contraction. One Emsella session delivers the equivalent of approximately 11,000 supramaximal contractions, far more than is possible with traditional pelvic floor exercises alone.

The treatment is fully clothed. You sit on a specialized chair while the electromagnetic field penetrates the entire pelvic floor, including deep muscles that are difficult to engage voluntarily. Most protocols involve six sessions over three weeks, with patients reporting noticeable improvement in bladder control by session three or four.

Because urinary incontinence often coexists with other concerns, our team may recommend a coordinated plan that addresses related issues such as sexual wellness or perimenopausal hormonal shifts. A comprehensive evaluation through concierge medicine ensures every contributing factor is identified and addressed.

Contributing Factors

What Causes Urinary Incontinence?

Identifying the Root Causes

01

Pelvic Floor Weakness

Childbirth, aging, and chronic strain stretch and weaken the muscles that support the bladder and urethra, reducing closure pressure.

02

Menopause and Low Estrogen

Declining estrogen thins the urethral lining and pelvic tissues, contributing to stress incontinence and urgency in women over 45.

03

Prostate Surgery in Men

Radical prostatectomy can disrupt the urinary sphincter, leading to post-surgical leakage that responds well to pelvic floor rehabilitation.

04

Chronic Constipation

Repeated straining places downward pressure on the pelvic floor and weakens supportive muscles over time.

05

Obesity

Excess abdominal weight increases pressure on the bladder and pelvic floor, worsening stress and mixed incontinence.

06

Neurological Conditions

Diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease, and nerve damage can disrupt the signals that coordinate bladder storage and emptying.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Urinary Incontinence

01 What causes urinary incontinence?

Urinary incontinence is most often caused by pelvic floor weakness from childbirth, aging, or menopause in women, and prostate surgery in men. Other contributors include chronic constipation, obesity, neurological conditions, and hormonal shifts. A comprehensive evaluation identifies the specific factors driving your symptoms.

02 Does Emsella really work for urinary incontinence?

Yes. Clinical studies show that Emsella improves bladder control in approximately 95 percent of treated patients, with most reporting fewer leakage episodes and reduced reliance on protective pads. The HIFEM technology delivers thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor contractions per session, far more than voluntary Kegels can achieve.

03 How many Emsella sessions do I need?

A standard protocol includes six 28-minute sessions, scheduled twice per week over three weeks. Many patients notice improvement by the third or fourth session, with continued strengthening over the weeks following completion. Touch-up sessions every 6 to 12 months help maintain results.

04 Does Emsella work for men?

Yes. Emsella is FDA cleared for both men and women. Men recovering from prostate surgery often experience meaningful improvement in post-prostatectomy leakage with the same protocol, since the technology strengthens the entire male pelvic floor and urinary sphincter region.

05 Do I need to undress for Emsella treatment?

No. You remain fully clothed during every Emsella session. You sit on the specialized chair, and the electromagnetic field penetrates the pelvic floor through your clothing. There are no probes, needles, or invasive components, which is why most patients describe the experience as comfortable and discreet.

06 Is Emsella covered by insurance?

Emsella is generally not covered by insurance because it is considered an elective wellness treatment. Evolving Mind and Body offers transparent self-pay pricing and package options for the standard six-session protocol. Our team will discuss costs during your consultation so you can plan with confidence.
