How could Emsella help?
Emsella uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM®) energy to stimulate repeated pelvic floor muscle contractions while you sit on a treatment chair. These muscles contribute to erection support and bladder control. For men whose symptoms involve pelvic floor weakness, strengthening may be a useful part of an individualized care plan. [1, 2]
ED can also involve circulation, nerves, hormones, medications, stress or other health conditions. Emsella does not address every cause. New or persistent erection difficulties deserve a medical assessment, including consideration of cardiovascular health. [4]
What does the research show?
Emsella in men: encouraging early findings
A 2024 observational pilot study enrolled 28 men with urinary symptoms and ED; 20 had complete data for analysis. After ten weekly, 28-minute Emsella sessions, participants reported a 37% improvement in the questionnaire item assessing erection maintenance through intercourse. [2]
This is a change in a questionnaire score, not a 37% cure rate. The study was small, had no sham-treatment comparison, and assessed outcomes immediately after treatment. It cannot establish how much improvement was caused by Emsella or how long benefits last. Larger controlled studies are needed.
Pelvic floor training: supporting evidence
A randomized trial of 55 men found that pelvic floor exercises with biofeedback improved erectile function compared with lifestyle advice alone. This supports a role for pelvic floor rehabilitation in selected men, but the trial studied exercises and biofeedback—not Emsella—and its results cannot be assumed for the device. [3]
What to expect at Peak Uro
1. Start with a consultation
Discuss your symptoms, goals, medical history and previous treatments. The team can assess suitability and discuss whether medical evaluation, pelvic floor physiotherapy or other ED treatments should be considered alongside or before Emsella.
2. Sit comfortably, fully clothed
During a session, you sit on the Emsella chair as its electromagnetic field stimulates the pelvic floor. Expect tingling and repeated muscle contractions. Treatment intensity is adjusted to your comfort, and a session typically takes about 28 minutes. Normal daily activities can usually resume immediately. [1]
3. Follow an individual treatment plan
BTL describes a typical pelvic floor course of approximately six sessions, twice weekly. This is not an established ED-specific protocol: the male pilot study used ten weekly sessions. Your provider should recommend a schedule based on your assessment, the device’s applicable instructions and your response. Further sessions or maintenance should be discussed individually. [1, 2]
4. Review your progress
Discuss changes in erection quality, urinary symptoms and your treatment goals with the team. Results vary, and improvement in ED is not guaranteed. Emsella should not replace investigation or management of an underlying condition.
Questions about treatment
Am I a candidate?
A consultation is the best starting point. Pelvic floor weakness may contribute to some men’s symptoms, but strengthening is not appropriate for everyone. Pelvic pain or excessive muscle tension may need a different approach. [2]
Are there reasons I may not be able to have Emsella?
Tell the team about any pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, metal implants, recent surgery and all medical conditions before treatment. BTL lists electronic and metal implants as contraindications; suitability must be checked against the device’s current instructions. [1]
Will I still need medication or other treatment?
Possibly. ED treatment depends on its cause and may include lifestyle measures, counselling, pelvic floor physiotherapy, medication or other options. Continue prescribed treatment unless your clinician advises a change. [4]
Is treatment covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your plan and the service provided. Ask Peak Uro for details and confirm eligibility with your insurer before treatment.
