Axonics Therapy for Bladder and Bowel Control
If you struggle with urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, or urinary retention, you are not alone. These conditions affect many women and can have a major impact on quality of life. When medications, pelvic floor therapy, or other treatments haven’t provided enough relief, sacral neuromodulation (SNM) may be an effective solution.
As a urologist specializing in female patients in Oklahoma City, I offer sacral neuromodulation as a minimally invasive option to help women regain bladder control and restore confidence.
What Is Sacral Neuromodulation?
Sacral neuromodulation (sometimes called Axonics™ therapy) is an advanced treatment that uses a small, implantable device—similar to a pacemaker—to gently stimulate the sacral nerves in the lower back. These nerves control bladder function, and when communication between the bladder and the brain is disrupted, symptoms like urgency, frequency, or leakage can occur.
By restoring normal communication, sacral neuromodulation can significantly reduce:
- Urinary urgency
- Urinary frequency
- Urge incontinence (leakage)
- Urinary retention
Who Is a Candidate for Sacral Neuromodulation?
You may be a good candidate for sacral neuromodulation if you are a woman who has:
- Overactive bladder symptoms that do not improve with medication
- Frequent or urgent urination disrupting daily life
- Leakage despite lifestyle changes or pelvic floor therapy
- Difficulty emptying your bladder completely
Women in Oklahoma City who have tried standard treatments without lasting success often benefit from this therapy.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Sacral neuromodulation is performed in two stages:
- Test Phase – A temporary device is placed to see how well the therapy works for you. Most women notice improvement within days.
- Implant Phase – If the trial is successful, a small permanent device is implanted under the skin in the upper buttock area. This device can be adjusted in the office to match your needs.
Both phases are outpatient procedures with minimal downtime.
Benefits of Sacral Neuromodulation
- Long-term relief from bladder symptoms
- Adjustable and reversible treatment
- Proven safe and effective for women
- Quick recovery and minimal scarring
Most importantly, sacral neuromodulation helps women in Oklahoma City regain control of their lives and reduce the anxiety that comes with unpredictable bladder symptoms.
