I had a sling put in 2012. No incontinence when sneezing/laughing, but urge incontinence when I am at the toilet, pulling down pants, keys at the door, etc. It's maddening! I also have fecal incontinence as well. Fun!! Have an appointment today with the EMSella chair, hoping it works for both fecal and urine incontinence. But from what you said it doesn't sound like the chair will help with the urge incontinence 😢.
Thank you for sharing this information! I recently quit drinking caffeinated tea, hopefully I will pee pants less. Once at work, I got the lace on bottom of camisole caught in jeans zipper and nearly really peed my pants. I also read melatonin can make you pee your pants before you make it to toilet in night. I drink herbal teas and some of the ingredients can also increase urine, like hibiscus 😮. I gave the pound of hibiscus flowers to my daughter, cause I was having problems of not making it to the bathroom.
I had double prolapse repair this June. Iwas hoping they would tighten up my pevic floor at same time. No such luck. The pain was worse than having a baby in my rear. Don't gush anymore when I pee and keep getting blocked up. I'm very pleased I had it done but disappointed it wasn't all fixed at same time.
Thanks, now I finally understand what is happening with my bladder. I have urge incontinence. Sometimes I can't make it to the bathroom without leakage. I take a med for it, but I can't take it every day. I take it every second or third day. It dries out my sinuses so much as well as my vagina and eyes, mouth, etc. I use a hormone cream for vaginal dryness so how does that make sense, to take one med that works against another one? I'll ask my doctor about this treatment.
I had recently had a test urodymamic s, I've been diagnosed with stress incontinence, I'm 54 , I have it when I exercise or coughing , sneezing, shouting! I've got to go back to the urology in February, for treatment saying to have injection s and tablets! I did try physio didn't work! Its embarrassing for me, I cant do the exercise anymore , without wetting myself, its debilitating!!❤
Hi, would this chair help someone when the bladder is way out , and the cervix has also dropped as well which is excruciatingly painful.? And that's with a pessary. My gynecologist told me I could do thousands of kegals a day and it would not make a difference.
I have urgency but it happens even when I do go frequently. All I have to do is think "do I need to urinate" and my brain triggers my bladder to be ready, I haven't had an accident yet but have come close!
I had bladder prolapse last September and it surgically repaired. I had a L4-5 fusion two years ago and now whenever I get into the shower, if I lean to the side, urine trickles down my leg. Also, after I pee and get up, I have to put some tissue there to catch a little more urine. I did a uds and held 900mls of urine before I had to pee. I also did not show incontinence when sneezing or coughing. I did have a horrible feeling whenever the water was turned on, like a brick was being pulled on my bladder. I started this emsella and have had two treatments, but it’s hard to get my privates flat onto the chair, my bones are getting in the way. So, do I have to have my privates flat?

How was it? Please share your experience here.
Dr. Hardwick Smith! My first "female parts" doctor. The best in the game. Miss you. Still love the practice. ❤
Yes for $5,000.

Once the EMSELLA treatment is over, how often is it necessary to go back for follow-up sesions ?
Does localized estrogen have any positive effects on stress incontinence? TY!
Yes, it absolutely can because it helps strengthen the vaginal tissue
Thank you for this vid, Dr. what do you think about INNOVO Urinary Incontinence Kit? Would it work like the chair?
How do you know which is the right level to use

That's a difficult problem. Thank goodness there are so many options to fix it and even if you need surgery that's fine we just need to go away.!!
How are you doing with all of this?
I have the thinxs underwear and they catch urine! Game changer!

Unfortunately, that would be a surgical problem would not be corrected with the Emsella chair
I live on east coast are there any facilities that have this chair how can I inquire about it ty
Listen to these !’
Does it damage other organs or intestines?

How and why does caffeine irritate the bladder?
For me it only lasted about 3 months and cost thousands of dollars.
My mom dIed from constant infections from a mesh. With all the law suits regarding this surgery( mesh), I am shocked you say it is safe.
is it only for women???
Will the emsella chair help level 2 prolapse of uterus, bladder & rectum ?
I was told that the sling is only effective 70%of the time. Is this what your research shows?
It depends on the patient and the severity of incontinence, but in my experience, the cure rate is much higher than that!
Multiple sclerosis.😮😢
