If you don’t know what the Emsella chair is, it’s the revolutionary way to relieve urinary incontinence and strengthen your pelvic floor, for both men and women.
However, aside from relieving the anxiety of uncontrollable bladder leakage, the Emsella chair can also improve your sex life. Keep in mind, this will only help if you already struggle with urinary incontinence. If you don’t suffer from this, the Emsella chair will not help in improving sexual satisfaction.
If you have a pacemaker or have been diagnosed with a terminal illness (such as cancer) you may not benefit from the Emsella chair. Contact our office for more information.
A Chair for Incontinence Improvement? Tell Me More!
Before we dive into how to improve your sex life, let’s briefly discuss what the Emsella chair is.
Emsella is a non-invasive treatment for relieving urinary incontinence and strengthening your pelvic floor muscles. The chair uses electromagnetic waves that deliver thousands of supramaximal contractions to your pelvic muscles. These contractions are essential for strengthening your pelvic floor.
You’ll be surprised to know that with the Emsella chair, it’s one gynaecological treatment where you don’t have to strip. That’s right – you remain fully-clothed while you sit back with a good book and possibly feel the slight vibrations of electromagnetic waves.
For optimal results, it’s recommended to have six treatment sessions. Each session lasts no more than half an hour, and is the equivalent of 10,000 Kegel exercises – perfect for people who are unable to correctly perform pelvic floor exercises.

Let’s Improve Sexual Health
Getting It Up
Erectile dysfunction mainly occurs in men over the age of 45 and is defined as the inability to keep an erection. Occasional erectile dysfunction is normal, however, if you experience ongoing erectile dysfunction, you should book an appointment with Dr Homar.
Erectile dysfunction is related to the strength of your pelvic floor muscles. A strong pelvic floor means supported pelvic organs, including the prostate. A weak pelvic floor means, well, you guessed it: less support on these muscles, ultimately leading to erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.
The Emsella benefits both men and women, and is designed to strengthen your pelvic floor, ensuring optimal support on your pelvic muscles and relieving you of erectile dysfunction. Other benefits of the Emsella chair for men’s sexual health include an increase in penile rigidity and hardness, erection control, and length of sexual intercourse.
The Big O
Similar to erectile dysfunction, weak pelvic floor muscles can affect sexual enjoyment and satisfaction for women, especially when entering menopause.
Aside from supporting the pelvic organs, strong pelvic floor muscles are also responsible for the pleasurable muscle contractions that happen during orgasms. By using the Emsella chair to enhance the strength of your pelvic muscles, you can increase sexual satisfaction by promoting stronger and more sustained orgasms.
This may not work for everyone, as not all women experience orgasms purely from penetration, however, sexual pleasure can still be increased through Emsella’s electromagnetic waves.
Where’s My Sexual Desire?
Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) is defined as a recurring loss of sexual desire and can cause heightened stress due to low sex drive. This heightened stress is essential for diagnosis, and can involve a sense of grief, sadness, and feelings of incompetence and frustration.
HSDD is not the same as having a low libido, as this can occur at various stages of one’s life and usually doesn’t cause severe emotional distress. Everyone’s sexual desire is different, so if you feel like you may be experiencing HSDD, contact Dr Homar’s office for guidance.
While there’s no scientific evidence, it’s believed that sexual desire is related to sexual satisfaction, which is related to your pelvic floor muscles. If you’re not experiencing satisfaction during sexual practices, you’re less likely to desire sexual activity. When you use the Emsella chair to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, you’re ultimately improving your sexual desire.
If you suffer from no or low sexual satisfaction (and also experience urinary incontinence) and are curious as to how the Emsella chair can help, contact the friendly staff at Toowoomba Obstetrics and Gynaecology today, and enjoy the Emsella benefits.
