High-Tech InterStim Bladder Control Therapy 

InterStim is a high-tech solution for the symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) and non-obstructive urinary retention, but you may be curious as to how the device actually works. Below are some important details describing just how InterStim can help you take back your life:

• Also known as sacral neuromodulation (SNM), the InterStim device targets the sacral nerve in your lower back.
• Once your InterStim device is implanted subcutaneously (under your skin) during a minimally invasive surgical procedure, it will use low-amplitude electricity to stimulate your sacral nerve. This will allow you to have more control over your bladder.
• InterStim includes the use of a handheld smart programmer that allows both you and your urologist to make adjustments without the need for more surgery.

The InterStim™ system has shown to provide vastly superior results to those of the leading oral medication for overactive bladder. If you’re ready to try a new solution that can offer you real relief, ask your doctor at CSUA about InterStim.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the symptoms of an overactive bladder?

Symptoms of an overactive bladder often include the following:

• Always looking for a restroom
• Needing to go too often during the day
• Waking up multiple times a night
• Frequently getting sudden or strong urges to go
• Suffering from embarrassing leaks or accidents

If any or all of these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to schedule an appointment with the urologists at CSUA, as you may be struggling with overactive bladder (OAB).

Will my device need batteries?

Not necessarily! InterStim offers both recharge-free and rechargeable options, allowing you to choose the right device for your lifestyle.

How do I know that InterStim is right for me?

The InterStim device is ideal for people who can tolerate minimally invasive surgery, since it must be implanted under the skin. If you’re unsure about InterStim, we encourage you to try a 3-14 day trial run which will be closely monitored by your urologist.
