Many of you are aware that in my practice I offer Urogynecology for Bladder Disorders and Incontinence. I would like to take this opportunity to present to you an E-Newsletter on:

New Outpatient Procedure for OverActive Bladder and Bladder Pain

Do you urinate more than 8 times a day or wake up at night more than 2 times to urinate?
  • Do you have to use a catheter to urinate?
  • Do you experience leakage or urine before getting to the restroom?
  • Do you have trouble starting or stopping your urine stream?
  • Do you avoid long trips, sporting events, or other activities that keep you from quick access to a bathroom?
  • Do you still experience symptoms after receiving non-surgical treatments?
  • Have you taken medications and found that your symptoms have not improved much?

If you can answer “yes” to any of these questions, you may be candidate for InterStim Therapy.
We invite you to call our office for a free consultation visit.

InterStim Therapy is a simple, minimally invasive outpatient procedure that can provide improvement and/or relief from symptoms of OverActive Bladder and bladder pain. It is covered by Medicare and most insurance plans.

Over 30 million people suffer from bladder symptoms related to OverActive Bladder. While may medications are available for these problems, there can be associated side effects as well as significant cost. For those who cannot tolerate drugs or find them ineffective, the InterStim procedure can eliminate these distressing problems.

Dr. Birken has been certified for the procedure. To date, all our patients who have undergone InterStim Therapy are very pleased with the results.

It is simple, essentially pain free, and requires minimal down time. If interested, please call our office at 281-893-1246 and we will arrange for a Medsonic consultant to contact you. Dr. Birken has been certified for this procedure. To date, all our patients who have undergone Interstim are very pleased with the results.
