CONTRIBUTED CONTENT — Urinary incontinence can be difficult to manage any time of year, but the summer months present unique challenges due to heat, lightweight clothing and extra outdoor activity. Instead of worrying about bladder leaks, take control with a painless, noninvasive treatment option from Prolong Medical Center.
Offering innovative solutions for intimate health concerns affecting both men and women, Prolong Medical Center has established itself as Southern Utah’s leader in treating urinary incontinence as well as erectile dysfunction.
“We customize treatment plans to ensure the best outcome,” clinic manager Neal Nowland said. “We take every individual into consideration.”
Experienced by more than 25 million Americans, incontinence is both a common affliction and a valid medical concern, and its prevalence only increases with age. A weakened pelvic floor is the root cause of this bothersome and often embarrassing issue. Although more common among women, especially those over 50, it also affects roughly 20% of men.
“We get just as many husbands in here as we do wives,” Nowland said. “In fact, many of the people we’ve treated so far are couples coming in together. They feel comfortable together, and both understand that each is suffering from similar issues.”
Prolong Medical Center has revolutionized treatment for male and female incontinence in Southern Utah by offering Emsella, a unique technology that provides a completely noninvasive option. During treatment, patients sit comfortably and fully clothed on a chair that utilizes high-intensity, focused electromagnetic energy to quickly deliver thousands of supramaximal muscle contractions to the pelvic floor.
Similar to Kegel exercises, these muscle contractions restrengthen the pelvic floor to better support the bladder. The patient’s body will experience up to 11,200 contractions during each half-hour session. This causes the pelvic floor to lift, leading to improved control and renewed confidence.
Emsella is approved by the FDA for the treatment of incontinence in men and women. In clinical trials, 95% of patients experienced significantly fewer incontinence episodes after just six sessions over three weeks, plus periodic follow-up treatments.
Erectile dysfunction impacts approximately 30 million men nationwide. Although far more prevalent after age 50, it’s not exclusively an older man’s problem. Men of all ages may notice that their performance in the bedroom isn’t what it used to be.
At Prolong Medical Center, patients are experiencing unprecedented long-term results with acoustic wave therapy, a nonsurgical and noninvasive solution that harnesses the power of the body’s natural healing agents. It targets erectile dysfunction on the cellular level to facilitate spontaneous, satisfying erections whenever the time is right.
Many cases of erectile dysfunction are linked to diminished blood flow, which is caused by plaque buildup within the arteries and reduced capacity of blood vessels. Acoustic wave therapy breaks apart buildup and scar tissue to restore blood flow along with stimulating vascular, stem cell and nitric oxide generation.
Solving the problem of erectile dysfunction requires consistency and patience, and Prolong Medical Center is dedicated to meeting every patient where they are. The clinic maintains an 85% success rate in treating impotence with acoustic wave therapy, defining “success” as the ability to achieve and sustain an erection.
“We work with each person as an individual to completely understand the medical reason for their erectile dysfunction,” Nowland said. “We really get to know our patients on a level that other clinics don’t.”
Best of Southern Utah voters recently awarded Prolong Medical Center a gold medal in the men’s health category for the third year in a row. The clinic also picked up a second consecutive gold for incontinence treatment, which Nowland said speaks to the patient experience his staff strives to create. They’re committed to helping every person who walks through their doors feel more comfortable and more confident.
Prolong Medical Center is the only clinic in Southern Utah focused on men’s health issues, including incontinence and erectile dysfunction. They provide cutting-edge procedures that treat the root causes of various conditions, not just the symptoms. Additionally, the clinic offers flexible financing options to make treatment affordable.
Don’t let incontinence or erectile dysfunction rob you of the quality of life you deserve. The highly trained staff at Prolong Medical Center is ready to help you create an optimal treatment plan for lasting results.
“Your health is the most important thing you have,” Nowland said. “What are you waiting for?”
