Emsella HIFEM Pelvic Floor Strengthening

What are the Pelvic Floor Muscles?

The pelvic floor muscles are like a trampoline, referring to the collective name of the muscle group located at the bottom of the pelvis. They connect the sacrum and the coccyx, surrounding the openings of the urethra, vagina, and anus. They support the small intestine, large intestine, bladder, female reproductive organs, and the prostate gland in men. They also wrap around the urethra, anus, and vagina, while also working in conjunction with the bladder, intestines, and sexual functions. The pelvic floor muscles are closely related to sexual functions and urinary functions.

As we age or due to lack of exercise, pelvic floor muscles can become loose and weakened. When the pelvic floor muscles become loose, the organs inside the pelvis such as the bladder, urethra, cervix, large intestine, and small intestine will begin to sag, leading to various degrees of impact, such as frequent urination, urinary leakage, and other embarrassing issues. These conditions can severely affect daily life, and if left unattended, can lead to damage to the bladder, urethra, or rectum, and even sexual dysfunction. In severe cases, there can be symptoms such as fecal incontinence, prolapse of the vagina or uterus, and even social withdrawal due to embarrassment. Over time, this can have negative effects on both the body and the mind.

New Pelvic Floor Strengthening Solution

Traditional methods of pelvic floor muscle training include Kegel exercises, which involve repetitively contracting a specific portion of the pelvic floor muscles to help alleviate issues such as urinary incontinence. These exercises are also believed to benefit women by treating vaginal prolapse and preventing uterine prolapse. However, traditional methods may not yield immediate improvements, especially when aging is a factor, making it difficult to fully recover without surgical intervention.

Alternative non-surgical treatments, such as electrical stimulation and biofeedback therapy, can help strengthen pelvic floor muscles. Still, these methods often require a significant amount of time to achieve optimal results. Moreover, electrical stimulation is only suitable for female patients, as it requires disrobing and inserting electrodes in specific locations, which can be inconvenient. Thus, these older methods are becoming outdated.

The benefits of strengthening pelvic floor muscles for women♀

Many people believe that pelvic floor muscle weakness is a natural consequence of childbirth and obesity causing muscle laxity. However, recent studies have discovered that nearly 25% of women aged 20 to 29 without childbirth experience or obesity face urinary incontinence due to weakened pelvic floor muscles. Therefore, it is crucial to pay attention to early signs of pelvic floor muscle weakness. When experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination or urinary incontinence, it is essential to address and identify the cause and seek early treatment to prevent further complications.

Weakened pelvic floor muscles can lead to vaginal laxity and other issues, with the most direct impact being decreased sexual satisfaction. Urinary incontinence can also result in hygiene and domestic or social inconveniences for the affected individual. By strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, the following benefits can be achieved :

  • Enhanced control over bladder and bowel movements, aiding in preventing incontinence issues as one ages
  • Prevention or improvement of pelvic organ prolapse, such as bladder, cervix, or rectal prolapse, caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles
  • Improved muscle tone, which can help alleviate stress-induced incontinence that occurs during activities such as laughing, coughing, sneezing, or exercising
  • Tightening of the vaginal muscles, which can maintain sexual satisfaction and functionality without experiencing interruptions or discomfort

The benefits of strengthening pelvic floor muscles for men♂️

If you are like most men, you may not have given much thought to your pelvic floor muscles. This is because you might think that strengthening pelvic floor muscles is only important for women. However, this is not the case, as pelvic floor muscles are equally important for men to maintain and strengthen, just as they do for other parts of the body.

The benefits of strengthening pelvic floor muscles for men, both physically and mentally, include:

  • Improved bladder control, reducing dribbling and preventing incontinence as one ages.
  • Alleviation of frequent urination.
  • Reduced risk of pelvic organ prolapse, such as bladder or rectal prolapse
    Improved circulation and flushing of inflammatory substances in individuals with prostatitis, promoting healing and recovery.
  • Enhanced coordination and functionality of pelvic muscles during urination.
  • Improved sexual performance and function:
    Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can help increase muscle tone, leading to enhanced erections and improved control over the pelvic area. Training the bulbocavernosus muscle (BC muscle) can help improve muscle strength, resulting in increased firmness, better angle, and more prolonged erections. Numerous studies have shown that 40% of men have experienced significant improvement in sexual performance after pelvic floor muscle training.
