Bladder issues are something from which many people suffer, but no one wants to talk about it - or in some cases, even seek treatment for it.
Now there's a new therapy that can help .
Premier Urology Group is introducing percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) with Urgentâ PC as a new therapy for Overactive Bladder. Studies show that 60 - 80% of patients respond to Urgent PC therapy, even if other treatments have failed.

Urgent PC therapy uses a very thin needle electrode temporarily placed in the inner ankle and connected to a stimulator. Electrical impulses generated by the stimulator travel to the nerves that control your bladder. While experience may differ, patients often feel a tingling in the leg and foot. In general, the treatment is well-tolerated and will be adjusted to meet your needs. Most patients do not experience side-effects; if side-effects occur, they are typically temporary and include mild pain and skin inflammation at or near the stimulation site.
Urgent PC therapy consists of a series of twelve 30-minute sessions, typically once a week. Patients generally can expect to see improvement by about the 6th treatment. Occasional treatments to sustain your improvements may be needed.
