Tired of Bladder Issues: Read Linda's Story.
Linda's Journey?
Linda used to love going out with friends, enjoying long drives along the coast, and exploring new places. But as time passed, something began to change. She started feeling an overwhelming need to always know where the nearest bathroom was, no matter where she went. It started subtly at first—an extra trip to the restroom before leaving the house, a quick stop just to be sure.
But soon, those subtle precautions turned into a constant, gnawing anxiety. A simple dinner with friends, once a cherished outing, became an ordeal as she found herself unable to focus on the conversation, her mind consumed with thoughts of when she might need to excuse herself again. Traveling, once an adventure, was now fraught with fear. Long car rides became impossible without frequent stops, and Linda found herself avoiding them altogether. Linda's urges became more frequent and more intense.
The worst part, though, was the incontinence. There were moments when she couldn’t make it to the bathroom in time, and the embarrassment that followed was crushing.
The frequency of her trips to the bathroom also disrupted her nights. Linda found herself waking up multiple times, unable to get a full night’s sleep. The exhaustion from lack of rest only added to her stress. She felt trapped in a cycle that was impossible to break—her body’s demands were dictating her life, and it was taking a toll on her physically and emotionally.
Linda had always been the rock for her family, the one everyone turned to for support. But now, she felt like she was losing control, not just of her bladder, but of her independence and the life she had worked so hard to build. The constant urgency, frequency, and incontinence were more than just physical symptoms—they were chipping away at the confident, capable woman she had always been.
Linda's Hope
Determined not to let her bladder control her life, Linda sought help after months of dealing with relentless urgency, frequency, interrupted sleep, and incontinence. Her doctor prescribed medication, which brought only mild relief but came with frustrating side effects. She then tried lifestyle changes—cutting out caffeine, adjusting her diet, and diligently practicing Kegel exercises. Yet, despite her best efforts, the improvements were minimal, and the problem persisted.
Linda continued her search for answers until one day, she overheard a friend mention "a little bladder pacemaker that gave me my life back." Though skeptical, Linda decided to give the procedure a chance. It involved a temporary implant designed to regulate bladder communication. To her surprise, the results were immediate—her urges decreased, and her frequent bathroom trips were reduced. Linda's urges went from a 3/4 down to a normal 1/4. Linda was able to make it to the bathroom and avoided any accidents. Linda was able to sleep through the night and finally started to feel back in control. Encouraged by the trial’s success, Linda chose to proceed with the permanent implant.
With sacral neuromodulation, Linda finally regained control over her life. The constant fear of accidents faded, allowing her to confidently return to the activities she had once avoided. This small device gave Linda back her freedom, restoring the vibrant, active life she had been missing. Linda found her solution and so can you.
What is it?
Bladder Stimulation also known as Sacral Neuromodulation (SNM) enhances bladder function by delivering gentle electrical pulses to the sacral nerves that control bladder activity. For Linda, this meant improved bladder function and relief from symptoms like urinary urgency, urinary frequency, urinary incontinence, and nighttime urination. SNM helped Linda regain control over her bladder, transforming her life and restoring the freedom she thought she had lost.
For most people, this technology is life-changing, offering a renewed sense of control and confidence
Who does it help?
Overactive Bladder (OAB) affects millions and is often a debilitating condition. It is characterized by many of the symptoms that Linda experienced:
- The intense urge to urinate (URGENCY)
- Involuntary bladder contractions and frequent urination (FREQUENCY)
- Nighttime urination (NOCTURIA)
- INCONTINENCE
This condition significantly affects the quality of life, causing disruptions in daily activities, social interactions, confidence, control and deep restorative sleep.
OAB is commonly caused by a miscommunication between the brain and the bladder, where the bladder muscles contract inappropriately. It is more prevalent in older adults, but it can affect individuals of any age.
How does it work?
A Bladder Stimulator is considered a miniature bladder pacemaker. It's a device that works by delivering mild electrical impulses to the sacral nerves, which control bladder activity.
The electrical signals restore more normal communication pathways between the bladder and the brain. This effectively reduces symptoms improving bladder control.
How Effective is it?
Bladder Stimulation is the most effective therapy ever designed for those with overactive bladder. The ARTISAN-SNM study reports a 93% success rate in reducing symptoms and improving bladder control. Many patients achieved near-total symptom relief.
80% of therapy responders achieved a reduction of 75% or more of their symptoms.
Participants also experienced a 36-point improvement in their ICIQ-OABqol score, reflecting significant enhancements in quality of life.
What's the Process?
Bladder Stimulation or Sacral Neuromodulation follows a simple process to ensure it is both effective, suitable, and long-lasting.
- Evaluation and Selection
- Test Stimulation & Evaluation
- Permanent Implantation
- Follow-Up and Your Enjoy Quality of Life
Step 1: Evaluation
Bladder Stimulation or Sacral Neuromodulation (SNM) is for those with conditions like Overactive Bladder (OAB), urinary retention, or fecal incontinence. An initial evaluation is scheduled to determine if you are a suitable candidate for SNM and have met the criteria. This includes a detailed medical history, examination, and sometimes other diagnostic tests.
Step 2: Try the Therapy
A bladder stimulator trial is a simple minimally invasive outpatient procedure to determine if a patient will benefit from long-term therapy. Two little wires are placed next to the S3 sacral nerves. The wires are then taped to the skin and placed in an external battery.
For three days a small amount of electrical energy is applied to the nerves. You should expect a drastic reduction (over 50%) in your symptoms including improvements in urgency, frequency, nocturia (nighttime urination), and incontinence.
At the end of the trial, the wires are removed and you decide if you love the therapy.
Step 3: Implant Procedure
A minimally invasive outpatient procedure is performed with x-ray guidance and is done with light sedation. A small battery is placed under the skin and a wire the size of a spaghetti noodle is placed next to the sacral nerve.
The bladder stim device is turned on and fine-tuned for your body.
The miniature bladder pacemaker device works for about 20 years helping to restore the connection between your bladder and your brain.
Step 4: Enjoy Your Quality of Life
Bladder Stimulation has been shown to drastically improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from urinary dysfunction, particularly those with urinary urge incontinence (UUI).
The ARTISAN-SNM pivotal study highlighted several key benefits:
- Symptom Reduction: Notably, 80% of responders had a reduction of 75% or more in their symptoms, and many became completely dry, experiencing a 100% reduction in UUI episodes.
- Quality of Life: Participants showed a significant improvement in their quality of life. This improvement reflects better overall well-being and daily function.
- High Satisfaction and Ease of Use: The system was well-received by patients, with 93% reporting satisfaction and stating they would undergo the procedure again.
- Safety and Longevity: The study reported no serious device-related adverse events.
