Did you know that patients can suffer from dual incontinence?
Dual incontinence is when a patient is experiencing both bowel and bladder control symptoms.
Your doctor and his or her clinical team will follow a patient care pathway, which is a roadmap of the different treatment options available to you. The pathway starts with conservative treatments and then moves on to the advanced therapies.
Follow up with your doctor to discuss advanced therapy options
Axonics Therapy provides gentle stimulation to the nerves that control the bowel and bladder, which can restore normal control and result in symptom improvement.
The Evaluation Step: To see if Axonics Therapy is right for you, you will undergo a short period of therapy using a temporary system. The evaluation period allows you to experience the level of symptom relief the therapy may provide before you commit to long-term therapy.
Long-term Therapy: If you and your doctor determine that Axonics Therapy is right for you, you will have an outpatient procedure where the miniaturized Axonics implant is placed just beneath the skin in the upper part of your buttock.
Backed by clinical studies, Axonics Therapy is clinically proven to help regain bowel and bladder control and deliver clinically meaningful improvement in quality of life.
