Urinary incontinence is a condition that can affect your life in many ways, such as social embarrassment, low self-esteem, and it may also be a sign of weak pelvic muscles. One of the newer management solutions for urinary incontinence is sacral neuromodulation or InterStim, which is an implanted device approved by the FDA to help patients with urinary incontinence who have not responded well to other treatments such as pelvic exercise and other conventional therapies for incontinence.
The InterStim is a device implanted into the patient’s body that triggers electrical pulses through the sacral nerves in order to control the bladder. This is effective for patients with urinary incontinence by normalizing the neural connection between the brain and the bladder. This offers hope for patients for whom traditional therapies have not been successful. The procedure for implantation is minimally invasive.
The InterStim isn’t just effective for urinary incontinence, but also for bowl control. It’s safe, effective, and can offer patients improved quality of life.
At Southern Urogynecology, we offer InterStim implantation for patients suffering from urinary or bowel incontinence. We also offer a range of other treatments for urinary incontinence, so that no matter your desired treatment outcome and conditions, we can help find a procedure that meets your individual needs.
