Overactive Bladder is a combination of symptoms, including urinary frequency, urgency, and urinary urge incontinence. Bladder function involves the coordination of the brain and muscles through our nerve signals. With an overactive bladder, regardless of what our brain wants our bladder to do, our bladder has a mind of its own and contracts at inopportune times. Medtronic Bladder Control Therapy delivered by the InterStim™ systems uses gentle nerve stimulation to correct the bladder-brain communication pathway and restore bladder function. This therapy provides relief and restores bladder function by gently stimulating the sacral nerves. In this episode, Dr. South explains why, where, and how the device is placed and what it can do to help control your bladder.
