Is your life being disrupted by incidents involving your bladder or bowels? Abnormal communication between the brain and either the bladder or bowels could be the underlying cause of overactive bladder, fecal incontinence, and urinary retention.
Axonics Therapy utilizes a small implant to deliver mild stimulation to the nerves governing the bladder and bowel. This intervention aims to reinstate regular communication between the brain and these organs, potentially leading to an amelioration of your symptoms.
At Northwest Specialty Hospital, our Women’s Care clinic offers this procedure for both men and women.
Overactive Bladder
Overactive bladder—which your doctor may refer to as “OAB”—is an umbrella term that includes the frequent and urgent need to empty your bladder. One of the most common overactive bladder symptoms is a sudden urge to urinate, resulting in unintentional urine loss.
Bowel Incontinence
Bowel incontinence, or accidental bowel leakage, is a condition where people get sudden urges to pass stool and experience leakage of stool before they make it to the restroom.
Urinary Retention
Urinary retention is the inability to empty the bladder. People with this condition are unable to urinate or they feel frequent urges but only urinate small amounts.
Stress Urinary Incontinence
then you may suffer from Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). This condition is caused by a weakness of the pelvic floor muscles, which usually tends to happen as we get older, with pregnancy or with certain pelvic floor conditions.
