9. Nerve Stimulation
If lifestyle changes and medication can’t control your OAB symptoms, your doctor may recommend a slightly more invasive approach for long-term relief. A procedure known as nerve stimulation involves implanting a small electronic device in the body, a “pacemaker” that sits under your skin and sends electrical impulses to the sacral nerve, which plays an important role in bladder emptying. The aim is to strengthen the supportive muscles and lead to better bladder control, though there’s no guarantee that the procedure will eradicate all your symptoms.
