As we age, it’s crucial to address the effects of time on our bodies, particularly when it comes to weakened pelvic floor muscles. A weak pelvic floor can play a significant roll in not only diminished bladder control, but also sexual health and sexual wellness. This can affect both women and men’s sexual health.
At StayDry Med Centers, we treat patients with urinary incontinence issues every day. They share frustrations about frequent trips to the bathroom and peeing a little when they cough, sneeze or laugh. They tell us about getting up multiple times a night and the inconvenience of wearing pads or adult undergarments. And they share with us issues and concerns regarding their sex life.
StayDry Med Centers is the largest provider of Emsella chair therapy in the country. Emsella is an FDA-cleared medical device that we use to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and increase blood flow in the area. The device uses electromagnetic energy to contract and stimulate the pelvic region simulating 11,200 Kegel exercises in a half hour. This provides improved bladder control and sexual health function in women and men.
Let’s look at how aging affects the sexual wellness of both genders. We’ll then shed more light on the sexual health benefits of Emsella Chair in rejuvenating the pelvic floor area.
The natural aging process in women contributes to the gradual decline in pelvic floor strength. It can also be caused by hormonal changes and childbirth. This leads to some common sexual health concerns for women including:
Physical Discomfort
Weakened pelvic floor muscles may cause physical discomfort during sexual activities. This can include reduced sensitivty, vaginal dryness, irritation, reduced elasticity, and thinning of the vaginal walls. Intimacy can become a challenge and lack of muscle tone, blood flow and elasticity can lead to a decrease in sensation. For women suffering with urinary incontinence, fear of leakage or embarrassment can lead to anxiety. This can make it difficult for women to relax and enjoy intimacy.
Body Image Concerns
Dealing with incontinence may contribute to negative body image issues especially if wearing pads and adult undergarments. Women may feel self-conscious about their bodies and worry about their partner’s perception, which may affect their overall confidence in intimate situations.
Reduced Sex Drive:
Menopause, age, and change in hormone leves can negatively affect a woman’s sex drive and desire. Stress and anxiety can also be associated with urinary incontinence. The fear of embarrassment or discomfort can inhibit the natural expression of intimacy, impacting overall libido.
Impact on Relationships
Intimacy issues can strain relationships. Communication may be challenging, leading to emotional distance between partners. Overall intimacy in the relationship can potentially be affected.
Emsella not only strengthens the muscles of the pelvic floor, it also enhances blood flow. It also triggers the production of collagen and heightens sexual sensation. Stronger pelvic floor muscles and increased blood flow can lead to improved sexual satisfaction. In addition to improved urinary incontinence symptoms, women who use the Emsella chair often report:
Over 30% of all StayDry Med Centers patients are men, and most are over over 55 years old. As they age, they lose testosterone, strength, muscle mass, gain weight, and start having urination and prostate issues. As a matter of fact, most of our male patients have had prostate surgery, radiation or laser therapy. Their health concerns include:
Bladder Leakage and Frequent Urination
Weakened pelvic floor muscles and diminished muscle tone after prostate surgery often result in bladder leakage and frequent urination.
Erectile Dysfunction
Men with urinary incontinence may also worry about erectile dysfunction. Fear of embarrassment or a perceived loss of control can contribute to anxiety. This can affect arousal and the ability to maintain an erection. Men who still have their prostate may experience ejaculation control, affecting overall sexual performance.
Impact on Confidence
Dealing with urinary incontinence can erode a man’s confidence in his ability to perform sexually. As a matter of fact, Erectile Dysfunction (E.D.) can be a significant issue whether they have incontinece or not. As men age, prostage issues and stress can all contribute to the ability to achieve or maintain an erection. So does the worry of leaks or disruptions during intimacy. This can greatly affect a man’s confidence.
Relationship Dynamics
Similar to women, men may find it challenging to communicate about erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence with their partners. This lack of communication can strain relationships and create emotional barriers that impact overall sexual satisfaction
