Do you get sudden, strong urges to urinate and are unable to control it? Do you go to the restroom 8 or more times a day?
Do you have accidental leakage before you make it to the restroom?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you may suffer from overactive bladder or urinary incontinence.
What causes bladder leaks and incontinence?
Bladder leakage, urinary incontinence or overactive bladder symptoms are not a normal part of aging. Millions of people worldwide suffer from these life-altering symptoms.1,2 These symptoms may occur because of abnormal communication between the brain and the bladder. This may lead to the feeling of an urgent need to urinate and an unwanted bladder contraction. You may also experience a need to rush to the restroom and leak or lose urine before you make it in time.
The good news, there are treatment options available to help regain control of your bladder.
The Doctors at Florida Bladder Institute are now offering Axonics® Therapy, a long-lasting solution that is clinically proven to regain bladder control and deliver clinically meaningful improvements in quality of life*.
What is Axonics Therapy?
Axonics Therapy is an advanced treatment option that is clinically proven for treating symptoms of overactive bladder (including urinary urgency incontinence), fecal incontinence and urinary retention.1
Axonics Therapy works by providing gentle stimulation to the nerves that control the bladder and bowel, which can restore normal control and result in symptom improvement.
If you and your doctor believe you are a candidate for Axonics Therapy, you will first try the therapy for a brief test period that allows you and your doctor to see if the therapy provides satisfactory reduction of your symptoms. If it is determined that the therapy is right for you, you will have an outpatient procedure where a miniaturized Axonics implant is placed just beneath the skin in the upper part of your buttock.
What are the benefits of Axonics Therapy?
Axonics Therapy provides the possibility of saying goodbye to bladder leaks!
