You train your chest, your legs and your back. But there is one group of muscles most men never think about until something goes wrong: the pelvic floor.
Yes, men have one too. And keeping it strong is one of the simplest ways to protect your confidence, comfort and quality of life as you age.
What does the pelvic floor do for men?
The pelvic floor is a sling of muscles at the base of your pelvis. It supports your bladder and bowel, helps you stay dry, stabilises your core when you lift, and plays a role in intimate health.
Like any muscle, it can weaken over time. Common causes include:
- Ageing and natural loss of muscle tone
- Prostate surgery, including radical prostatectomy
- Heavy lifting and high-intensity training without proper core control
- Chronic straining, coughing or constipation
- Extra body weight placing pressure on the pelvis
Signs your pelvic floor may need support
Many men put up with these symptoms for years because they feel awkward talking about them:
- Leaking when you lift, cough, sneeze or laugh
- Dribbling after you have finished urinating
- A sudden, urgent need to go, sometimes without much warning
- Getting up more often at night to use the bathroom
If any of these sound familiar, you are not alone, and you do not have to just live with it.
What is EMSELLA?
EMSELLA is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for urinary incontinence in both men and women. It uses HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology to trigger deep, powerful pelvic floor contractions.
In one 28-minute session, EMSELLA delivers around 11,000 supramaximal contractions, far more than you could achieve with Kegel exercises alone. Over a course of treatment, this helps re-educate and strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles, improving bladder control.
What to expect during treatment
- Fully clothed: you simply sit on the EMSELLA chair. No undressing, no needles.
- About 28 minutes per session: relax, read or check your phone.
- What it feels like: tingling and strong muscle contractions, but no pain.
- No downtime: go straight back to work, the gym or your holiday plans.
- Typical course: 6 sessions, twice a week over about 3 weeks. Some men need more, depending on their symptoms.
Many men notice improvement within the first few sessions, with results continuing to build over the following weeks.
Why assessment comes first at Yada Clinic
Not every bladder problem comes from a weak pelvic floor. Some men have pelvic floor muscles that are too tight, which needs a completely different approach. Urinary symptoms can also be linked to the prostate, the bladder itself, diabetes or medication.
That is why every EMSELLA journey at Yada Clinic starts with a private consultation with Dr. Yada Rujirattanamanee, board-certified in internal medicine with 15 years of experience. She reviews your symptoms and medical history, then recommends the plan that is right for you, whether that is EMSELLA, a combined approach, or a referral for further tests.
Your consultation is private, discreet and judgement-free.
Take the first step
Bladder leaks are common, but they are not something you have to accept. A stronger pelvic floor means more confidence in the gym, at work and in everyday life.
