Bladder Control Problems in Men

When was the last time you had a good night’s sleep? If you are like most men, that may be a hard thing to remember. Changes in bladder function can make your activities revolve around your bathroom schedule. From interruptions of movies or activities with friends, to limiting car rides, bladder control problems can take control your life. The changes that men experience include more frequent urination, sudden urges to urinate, needing two or more trips to the bathroom just to empty your bladder, nighttime urination and incontinence (partial or complete loss of bladder control that can be so embarrassing that it makes some men avoid activities and social activities).

It doesn’t have to be that way. From new medications to in-office biofeedback bladder exercises to new simple office based or outpatient procedures, help may only be a few office visits away.

There are many reasons for bladder control problems, such as bladder infections, back injuries, neurologic (nerve) conditions, excessive liquid intake, food allergies, prostate problems (benign or cancer), side effects of medications you take for other medical conditions and side effects of surgical procedures (such as prostate surgery).

Perhaps the most important part of a bladder control problem is that it may indicate a more serious problem, such as prostate or bladder cancer. Also, do not confuse an overactive bladder with BPH. An office visit is usually all that is needed to have a good urologic evaluation to put your mind at rest. New, simple treatments include minimally invasive office procedures to shrink enlarged prostate, computer-assisted bladder training exercises and the new Interstim® bladder therapy.

Rate your symptoms today! Don't continue to suffer and limit the activities you love.

Ask us about our newest service to enhance your urological health, Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS), which was recently approved by Medicare for coverage of patients with overactive bladder symptoms; such as, frequent urination, nighttime urination, urgency and urge incontinence – when you don’t make it to the bathroom in time.

Interstim® Therapy by Medtronic (Sacral Nerve Stimulation) for Urinary Control (See note below for men with BPH)*

For years, patients and physicians have been frustrated when dealing with the effects of an overactive bladder that cannot be controlled with medication or other treatments.  Now there is a remarkable treatment available that is changing the lives of people who suffer from an overactive bladder.

Medical researchers have known for over 30 years that the sacral nerves control all the function of the pelvis and its organs. electrical impulses travel from the brain tot he organs and muscles in the pelvis via the sacral nerves. These impulses are responsible for urinary elimination and other functions.  But how are electrical impulses disrupted? There are a number of common reasons including, bladder infections, childbirth, hysterectomies, bowel and bladder surgeries and other pelvic events that can be an insult to sacral nerves. The symptoms may include urinary frequency, urge incontinence, urinary retention, interstitial cystitis, irritable bowel syndrome, pelvic pain and other ailments.

There is no longer any need to suffer in silence and have your bladder control problem disrupt your life. Now, there is a procedure that can put an end to your overactive bladder problem.  It was developed by a company that is a leading manufacturer of  cardiac (heart) pacemakers.  The concept is simple: to send electrical impulses to the bladder to stop it from contracting too often and uncontrollably.  The technology is remarkable – whenever your bladder tries to contract too often or without control, the device sends a signal to the bladder muscle to relax.  You won’t even know when it’s working – it’s painless!

The Interstim® Therapy device is small, the size of a silver dollar, only a little bit thicker and is implanted under your skin. The technology is similar to cardiac pacemakers and has been proven safe during the last 15 years of use. InterStim® is non-destructive with minimal risk and the treatment is reversible should you deicide not to continue with the therapy. Dr. Robert Pugach is a leader in this method to correct bladder control problems and can demonstrate dramatic results!
