Resa tried all the usual fixes — over-the-counter medications, pads, controlling what and when she ate. “None of this worked,” she says. “All it did was cause more stress, trying to juggle all of these things.” She was aware of sacral neuromodulation as a treatment for urinary incontinence — an acquaintance had successfully treated her incontinence with a similar device some 13 years ago. “I wasn’t aware that it could be used for my issue as well,” she says. “As soon as I found out it could, I was on board.”
Sacral Neuromodulation is a guideline-recommended therapy that restores normal control of the bladder and bowel. Sacral Neuromodulation is indicated as a treatment option for patients with:
Overactive Bladder
Bowel Incontinence
Urinary Retention
"It was such a simple procedure. I can’t believe how easy it was.”
Sacral nerve modulation therapy is a minor outpatient procedure that takes about thirty minutes. It’s performed with a local anesthetic and occasionally with mild sedation. Essentially, a small device similar to a pacemaker is placed beneath the skin and very fine leads are inserted through the canal of the sacrum to properly stimulate the pelvic floor muscles.
