A DEDICATED CLEVELAND HEALTH CENTER SERVICE

Urinary Incontinence & Pelvic Floor Therapy (EMSELLA)

You shouldn't have to plan your day around bathroom visits or worry about a leak when you cough, exercise or laugh. Whether symptoms started after childbirth, during menopause, or following prostate treatment, understanding the cause is the first step toward better control.

We provide respectful, individualized evaluation for both women and men, with noninvasive options including BTL EMSELLA when appropriate.

What Symptoms Deserve a Pelvic Floor Evaluation?

Urinary leakage is common, but it has different causes and does not always indicate a weak pelvic floor. These concerns are reasons to seek a medical evaluation.

Leaks with coughing, laughing, or exercise

Often called stress incontinence. We evaluate muscle strength, childbirth or surgery history, and other contributors.

Sudden urgency or frequent bathroom visits

An overactive bladder, infection, fluid/medication factors, or other problems can contribute.

Urinary leakage after prostate treatment

A tailored evaluation is important; some patients need specialist options beyond muscle-focused care.

Changes after childbirth or menopause

Pelvic-floor weakness may play a role, but symptoms can have more than one cause.

Nighttime bathroom visits

Nocturia can have bladder, sleep, hormonal, prostate, cardiovascular, or medication-related contributors.

When bladder concerns affect confidence or intimacy

Improving comfort and daily confidence is a meaningful treatment goal, too.

Featured Treatment: BTL EMSELLA Pelvic Floor Therapy

NONINVASIVE · FULLY CLOTHED · FOR WOMEN & MEN

Imagine working on pelvic-floor strength without changing into a gown, using internal devices, or having injections. With BTL EMSELLA, you sit comfortably on a specialized chair while electromagnetic stimulation activates pelvic-floor muscles.

For eligible patients, the goal is to improve muscle function and help reduce urinary leakage. The usual research protocol is six visits of about 28 minutes each, although your treatment plan may differ.

How We Determine the Right Approach

01

Listen to your symptoms

We discuss when leaks happen, urgency, pad use, medical history, medications, lifestyle goals and any concerning changes.

02

Look for the cause

Your evaluation may include an examination, urinalysis or other testing or referral when indicated. Not all bladder symptoms need the same intervention.

03

Explain your options

We review pelvic-floor exercise/physical therapy, bladder strategies, medications, EMSELLA and specialist treatment options when appropriate.

EMSELLA Is One Option, Not the Only Option

Many people benefit from proven conservative approaches such as pelvic-floor exercises guided by a therapist, bladder training, lifestyle measures, and treatment of contributing medical conditions. Depending on the diagnosis, medicines or specialized procedures may also be options.

BTL EMSELLA may be considered alongside established care for selected patients. We will explain where the clinical evidence is encouraging and where further research is needed. For intimate discomfort or sexual-function concerns, explore our separate Men’s & Women’s Sexual Wellness pages.

Seek prompt medical care for new inability to urinate, fever with urinary symptoms, visible blood in urine, or sudden neurological symptoms rather than booking an elective pelvic-floor session.

Pelvic Floor & Bladder-Control Questions

Is urinary incontinence a normal part of aging?

Urinary leakage becomes more common with age, but it should not simply be dismissed as inevitable. The type and cause of leakage determine what may help.

Is EMSELLA the same as pelvic-floor physical therapy?

No. Pelvic-floor physical therapy often teaches awareness, coordination, relaxation and strengthening, while EMSELLA provides electromagnetic muscle stimulation. Learn more on the EMSELLA page.

Do you see men as well as women?

Yes. We welcome women and men. Urinary symptoms after prostate treatment require individualized evaluation.

Do you treat urge incontinence and stress incontinence?

We evaluate both. Stress leakage and urgency can have different causes; some patients have a mixture of symptoms. Treatment is chosen after assessment.

Is this part of Sexual Wellness?

Pelvic Floor Therapy is a standalone service. It may be relevant to sexual wellness, so our Sexual Wellness section includes helpful cross-links.
