Overactive Bladder Procedure

Bladder control problems affect millions of people every day, but they don’t have to control your life. If you’re experiencing symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) or urinary retention, it’s important to seek help. At Daviess Community Hospital, we offer advanced treatments to provide lasting relief from bladder control issues, including the highly effective Medtronic Bladder Control Therapy delivered by InterStim™ Systems.

Symptoms of Overactive Bladder (OAB)

Overactive bladder can cause a variety of disruptive symptoms, including:

• Urinating more than 8 times a day
• Frequent, uncontrollable urges to urinate
• Leaking before reaching the bathroom (urge incontinence)
• Using pads or protective garments to manage leaks
• Feeling like your bladder is never fully empty

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, you may have OAB or another bladder control issue. Left untreated, OAB can impact your confidence, self-esteem, and intimacy, so it’s important to speak with a specialist.

Urinary Retention Symptoms

In addition to OAB, urinary retention is another condition that can affect bladder function. Symptoms of urinary retention include:

• Inability to tell when your bladder is full
• Holding increasingly large amounts of urine
• Weak or dribbling urine stream
• Needing to use a catheter to urinate

Both OAB and urinary retention are treatable, and at Daviess Community Hospital, we are committed to helping you find the right solution for your needs.
