There are three main types of urinary incontinence in women and men. Patients may experience one type or mixed incontinence, which is when you experience more than one type of urinary incontinence.

What is stress incontinence?

Stress incontinence, often referred to as light bladder leakage, occurs when pressure is put on the bladder, causing urine to leak. This can be as simple as slouching when you sit, or from coughing, laughing or sneezing, exercising or jumping, resulting in a small or large amount of urine leakage. This can be embarrassing and mean you restrict or cut out many enjoyable activities that could cause leakage.

What is urge incontinence?

Urge incontinence symptoms include a sudden and often intense urge to urinate, commonly followed by an involuntary loss of urine. Frequent visits to the toilet during the day, sometimes every half hour or hour, meaning you will always need to know where a toilet is when you are out, this quite often restricts activities. Urge incontinence typically disrupts sleep due to the need to wake frequently and urinate.

What is overflow incontinence?

When your bladder does not empty completely, this leads to consistent dribbling or urination.

The Emsella Chair – Non-Invasive Incontinence Treatment

The Emsella Chair is an FDA approved medical device that uses electromagnetic waves, focussed on the pelvis, giving over 12,000 contractions in 28 minutes.

Treatment strengthens pelvic floor muscles so you can contract and control the bladder, avoiding what is commonly referred to as light bladder leakage or stress incontinence.

The treatment also assists nerves to become less over-reactive to reduce the urge to go to the toilet so often.
