Getting an Evaluation

If you suffer from any of the symptoms of overactive bladder, you’re not alone. More than 33 million Americans live with OAB.1 InterStim Therapy may be an option to help you manage your symptoms.

About the Evaluation

If you have not had success with other treatments or could not tolerate them, talk to your doctor about the InterStim Therapy evaluation. During the evaluation, you'll have the opportunity to test InterStim Therapy before making a long-term commitment. The evaluation generally lasts several days. Before and during the evaluation, you'll be asked to track your symptoms to help determine how well InterStim Therapy works for you.
