Understanding the Potential of Sacral Nerve Stimulation
Sacral nerve stimulation is a modern treatment option recommended to patients suffering from urinary and fecal incontinence issues. This is a minimally invasive, reversible implanted device that uses tiny electrical impulses to improve communication between the bladder and the brain. This device targets the S3 nerve, a spinal nerve that can control the pelvic floor and sphincter. This therapy can strengthen these muscles by stimulating this nerve and help patients manage their incontinence issues.
Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) is an excellent option for patients seeking relief from various incontinence issues. If conservative therapies including pelvic floor exercises and medications do not offer relief, minimally invasive surgery might be recommended next. This is a common treatment option that is very effective, with 89% of patients achieving relief from their condition.
Different Conditions that Can Benefit from Sacral Nerve Stimulation
Sacral nerve stimulation is capable of treating a range of conditions. From overactive bladder to fecal incontinence, these devices can help patients manage their symptoms and live a more comfortable lifestyle. Let’s talk about the different conditions that respond to SNS and how it can help.
Overactive Bladder
Overactive bladder refers to the frequent and urgent need to urinate. This condition can cause sensations of having to use the bathroom, even when you do not have to urinate. This confusing and frustrating condition is difficult to manage and can severely interrupt a patient’s lifestyle. Sacral nerve stimulation is often recommended for patients with overactive bladder. This treatment can help them control their bladder and improve communication between the bladder and the brain.
Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence is slightly different from overactive bladder, however the two often go hand in hand. This condition involves involuntary urination including leakage and accidents. For the most part, all individuals with urinary incontinence also have overactive bladder, but not vice versa. Sacral nerve stimulator devices have the potential to drastically reduce accidents.
Fecal Incontinence
Fecal incontinence is the inability to hold your bowel movements. Chronic illnesses, nerve damage, diarrhea, and constipation often cause this condition. Understanding the cause of the condition is integral to proper treatment. If patients are not able to find relief from conservative therapies including medications and/or botox, sacral nerve stimulation is often recommended.
