There are several conditions characterised by dysfunction of the nerves that control the bladder and lower bowel. Amongst these are urinary urgency frequency, urge incontinence, and both urinary and faecal incontinence.
Urgency frequency is characterised by very frequent urination – more than 7 times during the day. If you suddenly feel you need to rush to the bathroom but don’t make it in time you could have urge incontinence. If you have either of these problems, if you have to catheterise yourself, or are incontinent or either urine or faeces you could have sacral nerve dysfunction.
If you think you have one of these problems you should seek specialist help from a urologist or colorectal specialist. Once diagnosed there are several treatment options for you including sacral nerve root stimulation, which can be carried out for you by this clinic.
