How EMSELLA Supports the Prostate, Pelvic Floor, and Men’s Wellness

Overview

Many men experience pelvic floor weakness, urinary leakage, urgency/frequency, or changes in sexual function—especially after prostate procedures such as prostatectomy or due to benign prostate enlargement. These issues can affect confidence, sleep, and daily life.

EMSELLA is a non-invasive therapy designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles—the muscular “hammock” that supports the bladder, urethra, and prostate region. By improving pelvic floor strength and neuromuscular control, EMSELLA can help men regain urinary control and support sexual function.

Note: EMSELLA does not treat the prostate gland directly or alter its size. Its benefits come from conditioning the muscles that influence continence and pelvic function.

How EMSELLA Works

• Electromagnetic stimulation: EMSELLA uses focused electromagnetic energy to induce thousands of strong, involuntary (supramaximal) pelvic floor contractions in a single 30-minute session—far more than can be achieved with standard Kegels.
• Muscle re-education: These contractions retrain and hypertrophy the pelvic floor, improving support for the bladder neck and urethra ( PubMed Study, 2025).
• Comfort & convenience: Sessions are fully clothed, non-invasive, and require no downtime ( The Urology Partnership).

Why It Matters for Prostate & Men’s Pelvic Health

By strengthening the pelvic floor, EMSELLA supports key aspects of male urinary and sexual health:

• After prostate surgery: Post-prostatectomy incontinence often results from weakened pelvic support. EMSELLA helps restore continence by retraining the muscles that control urination.
• Urinary control: Improved muscular tone reduces leakage and urgency, especially during coughing, sneezing, or physical activity ( The Urology Partnership).
• Sexual performance: The pelvic floor contributes to erectile rigidity and ejaculation control. EMSELLA’s stimulation may enhance erectile and orgasmic function ( Cosmetic Injectables, 2024).
• BPH support: While EMSELLA does not reduce prostate size, improved pelvic coordination can lessen urinary strain in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia ( CBA Clinic).

Evidence & Clinical Context

A prospective comparative study found that EMSELLA therapy significantly strengthened pelvic floor muscles, reducing urinary incontinence and improving quality of life. Other clinical research supports non-surgical interventions such as pelvic floor re-education as effective first-line treatments for post-prostatectomy incontinence ( Conservative Interventions Review, 2023).

Many urology and rehabilitation centers now include EMSELLA as part of comprehensive male pelvic floor programs ( Orange County Urology).

What to Expect During Treatment

• Evaluation: Review of prostate history, urinary leakage, and pelvic floor strength.
• Course: Typically six sessions over three weeks (two per week).
• Duration: Each session lasts about 28–30 minutes.
• Sensation: Patients feel rhythmic contractions, similar to intensive Kegels, while seated.
• Results: Many patients report improvement within 2–3 sessions.

Integrative care: When appropriate, Dr. Phelts may integrate applied kinesiology and chiropractic techniques to optimize the alignment and function of the pelvis and spine—enhancing the resting tone, coordination, and activation of the pelvic floor muscles for more effective results. Because the pelvic floor attaches to both the spine and pelvic bones, improving their alignment and mobility through chiropractic care can support better pelvic floor strength and neuromuscular control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does EMSELLA treat the prostate directly?

No. EMSELLA strengthens the muscles that support bladder and prostate function—it does not shrink or alter prostate tissue.

Is it safe after prostate surgery?

Yes, when cleared by your surgeon. EMSELLA can accelerate continence recovery after prostate procedures.

When will I notice improvement?

Some men experience noticeable improvement after two or three sessions; optimal results occur after the full six-session series.

How long do results last?

Results can last months, with maintenance sessions recommended a few times per year to maintain muscle tone.
