Axonics Therapy is an effective solution for treating symptoms of bowel (fecal) incontinence, overactive bladder including urinary urgency incontinence, and urinary retention3.
Bowel Incontinence
Overactive Bladder
Urinary Retention
Bowel incontinence, or accidental bowel leakage, is a condition where people get sudden urges to pass stool and experience leakage of stool before they make it to the restroom.
You may be suffering from bowel incontinence if:
You experience sudden urges to pass stool
You experience an inability to stop the urge to pass stool
You experience leakage of stool with activity or without awareness
Did you know that patients can suffer from dual incontinence?
Dual incontinence is when a patient is experiencing both bladder and bowel control symptoms.
Follow up with your doctor to discuss advanced therapy options
Your doctor and his or her clinical team will follow a patient care pathway, which is a roadmap of the different treatment options available to you. The pathway starts with conservative treatments and then moves on to the advanced therapies.
Axonics Therapy provides gentle stimulation to the nerves that control the bladder and bowel, which can restore normal control and result in symptom improvement.
The Evaluation Step: To see if Axonics Therapy is right for you, you will undergo a short period of therapy using a temporary system. The evaluation period allows you to experience the level of symptom relief the therapy may provide before you commit to long-term therapy.
Long-term Therapy: If you and your doctor determine that Axonics Therapy is right for you, you will have an outpatient procedure where the miniaturized Axonics implant is placed just beneath the skin in the upper part of your buttock.
Backed by clinical studies, Axonics Therapy is clinically proven to regain bladder and bowel control and deliver clinically meaningful improvement in quality of life.

Doris K.
71 years old
I adjusted my whole life by limiting myself from drinking and eating. Now I don't have to.
Doris had suffered with overactive bladder and bowel symptoms since 1987. "The thing that stands out in my mind the most is that this has gone on for so many years and I had to adjust my whole life." Finally, with Sacral Neuromodulation therapy from Axonics, Doris got her symptoms under control and was able to say "goodbye" to wearing pads!
