Overview
Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS) is a therapy that uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate the sacral nerves, which control the bladder and bowel. It acts like a "pacemaker" for the bladder.
How It Works
A small device is implanted under the skin in the upper buttock area. It sends signals to the sacral nerves to correct the communication between the brain and the bladder, helping to restore normal function.
Benefits
Effective
Can treat overactive bladder, urinary retention, and fecal incontinence when other treatments have failed.
Reversible
The therapy can be turned off or the device removed if necessary.
