incontinence and Emsella chair therapy

[Archives1]

I had my prostrate removed last month and it's now about 5 weeks since my catheter was removed. I am new to the message board and read one message that someone mentioned having emsella chair therapy. I researched it on line and it seems to be an interesting procedure. But my question is does it actually help a person to gain continence faster than just performing Kegel exercises during the recovery period. Is there someone who actually received emsella chair therapy during their recovery period? If so, did the therapy help to make your continence recover faster and would you recommend it to others?

I had mentioned the chair several weeks ago. I plan to try it after I'm finished with my 12 week session therapy with my doctor. next week >s my last session and have not gained any improvement.
/he chair gives 1200 kegels in a 30 minute session, and takes 2 sessions a week for 3 weeks. it cost $200 A Session, $1800 total and not covered by insurance. they claim one will see improvement with the first session. they recommend a follow up session every several months. good luck if you des>de to try it. if oi do, will report back with results.

Thanks for your reply. I wasn't aware of the 3 month requirement. I would be very interested to heard how you made out with the sessions. Good luck with it. I hope it's as good as advertised.
