Interstim is a long-lasting, treatment option for overactive bladder, urinary urgency incontinence, non-obstructive urinary retention, and fecal incontinence. https://pacificnorthwesturology.com/interstim.html Rather than treating with medications, Interstim acts with neuromodulation, providing an electrical stimulus to the nerves that helps decrease the sense of urinary urgency, as well as helps the bladder empty better in non-obstructive urinary retention. It is typically performed by a urologist and is often done under local anesthetic or sedation. Rather than just treat symptoms, the electrical pulses actually help the bladder function better. The procedure is generally covered by most insurance companies and is well tolerated. This video helps explain the procedure and what to expect after surgery.
