How Does Sacral Neuromodulation Work?
Your brain and bladder rely on nerve signals to communicate. When these signals aren't working as they should, you may experience symptoms such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, leakage or difficulty emptying your bladder.
Sacral neuromodulation uses a small device to deliver gentle stimulation to the nerves that help control bladder function. This stimulation can help improve communication between the brain, bladder and bowel and reduce symptoms.
Before receiving a permanent stimulator, there will be a test period during which we evaluate for an appropriate response to therapy. If your symptoms improve during a trial period, you and your provider can discuss moving forward with the implanted device.
