About Your Condition

What Is Urinary Incontinence? 
Urinary incontinence is the inability to control when the bladder releases urine. 

What is Urinary Retention? 
Urinary retention is the inability to empty the bladder. People with this condition are unable to urinate or they feel frequent urges but only urinate small amounts.

Fecal incontinence, or accidental bowel leakage, is a condition where people get sudden urges to pass stool and experience leakage of stool before they make it to the restroom. 

We Can Help

If you suffer with symptoms of urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, urinary retention or fecal incontinence, you no longer need to suffer in silence. The good news is that there are treatment options for controlling your symptoms. Sacral neuromodulation is an advanced treatment option that may be right for you.  

Sacral neuromodulation involves an implantable device that delivers mild electrical stimulation to sacral nerves to improve bladder and bowel control. It may be recommended for you if conservative treatments such as behavioral therapy or medications haven't resolved your issues. 

Sacral neuromodulation works by sending gentle electrical pulses to the sacral nerves near the tailbone, restoring proper communication between the brain and pelvic organs, which helps regulate bladder and bowel function.
