Expert Urological Care for Men and Women from Dr. Carolyn Fronczak
Sacral Neuromodulation in Boulder, CO, offers a path to restored bladder control and renewed self-assurance. Dr. Carolyn Fronczak provides comprehensive urological treatment designed to help patients of all genders overcome pelvic floor dysfunction and urinary disorders with confidence.
Sacral Neuromodulation in Boulder, CO, is a neurostimulator implant featuring a compact battery-powered device placed in the upper right or left buttock below the waistline and an electrode lead that stimulates the sacral nerve controlling bladder function.
The neurostimulator delivers mild electrical pulses to the sacral nerve that calms overactive bladder symptoms. The precise mechanism explaining why this neuromodulation therapy works remains under scientific investigation.
Sacral nerve therapy has been transforming bladder dysfunction treatment for nearly 25 years and continues advancing with each new generation of device technology.
I use the Medtronic InterStim Sacral Nerve Stimulator because Medtronic pioneered this bladder control therapy and their innovation keeps improving, plus their complete implant system is fully MRI compatible.
A simple trial (peripheral nerve evaluation) is performed in my office to determine if the neurostimulator reduces your urinary symptoms and stays in for 1 week and is removed in my office as easily as removing a bandaid.
If the diagnostic trial succeeds, then the permanent implant procedure is completed in the operating room in under an hour.
Who Is a Candidate for Sacral Neuromodulation?
Sacral neuromodulation may be the right solution if other treatments haven’t worked for you. This therapy is designed for adults experiencing persistent bladder control issues that affect daily life.
You may be a good candidate if you have:
Overactive bladder symptoms that haven’t responded to medication. Urge incontinence causing frequent accidents. Non-obstructive urinary retention making it difficult to fully empty your bladder. Fecal incontinence or chronic bowel control problems.
This treatment may not be appropriate if you have:
A pacemaker or other implanted electrical device. Plans for future MRI procedures with incompatible equipment. Certain neurological conditions affecting the spine.
