Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the Axonics^® System?

The Axonics System is a rechargeable Sacral Neuromodulation system that can reduce the symptoms of overactive bladder, bowel incontinence, and urinary retention. The system works by restoring normal communication between your brain and your bladder and/or bowel.

2. How does Sacral Neuromodulation work?

Sacral Neuromodulation is a therapy that provides gentle stimulation to the nerves that control the bladder and bowel. The stimulation can restore normal communication between the brain and the bladder and/or bowel, which can result in an improvement of your overactive bladder, bowel incontinence, and urinary retention symptoms.

3. Will Sacral Neuromodulation therapy cure my symptoms?

Sacral Neuromodulation therapy is not a cure, but it is a long-term therapy that may provide significant relief of your symptoms.

4. How do I know if Sacral Neuromodulation is right for me?

Sacral Neuromodulation is a safe and effective treatment, indicated for people suffering from overactive bladder, bowel incontinence, and/or urinary retention who have not found relief with previous treatments. Seek advice from your doctor to see whether Sacral Neuromodulation is right for you.

6. What makes the Axonics System different from other options?

At the end of the trial period, you and your doctor can decide what your next treatment steps are.
