Overactive bladder treatments can include behavioral modifications, medications, and 3rd line interventions.
Treatments for overactive bladder are the same for women and men.
It is like doing acupuncture.
The tiny acupuncture needle is placed above the inner ankle bone near a nerve called the peripheral tibial nerve.
The acupuncture needle is then stimulated with an electrical current, the stimulation should not be painful.
A buzzing or tingling in the toes can be felt from the stimulation and the toes may curl downward.
When the nerve is stimulated, it sends signals to one of the bladder control areas in the spine and calms the bladder down so it is not so hyperactive.
It takes usually 8-9 treatments to reduce symptoms and success is measured by reducing the overactive bladder symptoms by 50% or more.
