InterStim

 I’m pleased to introduce a new procedure to our patients – Bowel Control Therapy.

This safe and effective therapy is a great help for adults who live with incontinence or accidental bowel or bladder leakage – conditions that can be embarrassing and isolating.

If you’ve tried medications, pelvic floor exercises, or lifestyle changes without success, there’s new hope.

  • This FDA-approved, minimally invasive treatment gently stimulates sacral nerves to help you regain control and confidence.
  • In long-term studies, nearly 9 in 10 patients saw lasting improvement, and many regained complete control.
  • InterStimTM therapy helps restore communication between the brain and the nerves that control the bowel and bladder.

You may be a good candidate for Bowel Control Therapy delivered by the InterStimTM system if:

  • You have significant chronic fecal or urinary incontinence symptoms.
  • You’ve tried lifestyle changes, exercises and oral medications with no significant outcome.

You Can Try It First

Unlike other bowel control treatments, you can try this therapy first with an evaluation — like a test run, not a long-term commitment.

  • Start with a short, in-office procedure. 
  • Go about most of your regular activities for 3-14 days.
  • Track your symptoms to see if they improve.
  • Talk with your doctor about your results and find out how it can help you.
