Do you feel like your bladder controls your life?
If you’re not able to control urges or if you frequently have to urinate—you may have overactive bladder.
“A large number of people suffer with OAB without ever asking a doctor for help,” says Dr. McCullough. “They may be embarrassed about the problem or assume that it’s a natural part of aging. Some people even try to get by with their own ‘ fixes’ like restricting their water intake, assuming they won’t need to use the restroom as often, or spending money on costly adult diapers.”
When asked about the solutions available for OAB, Dr. Bhalani says, “The good news is that there is help available, and our team at Advanced Urology is the only Medtronic InterStimTM Center of Excellence in the country. InterStimTM treatment is a proven therapy that helps to regulate the nerve signals between your brain and your bladder and it is the only OAB therapy that provides better relief than medications.”
Innovative OAB Treatment
InterStimTM is the Innovative Solution for Overactive Bladder (OAB)
Dr. Vishal Bhalani and Advanced Urology were given the honor of being the first Medtronic InterStimTM Center of Excellence in the country. InterStimTM is an innovative solution for overactive bladder using a minimally invasive surgical technique. The device is a neurostimulator that helps control the bladder’s function to limit frequency and urge sensations to improve the patient’s control over their bladder. It is an outpatient therapy that can be done same day so you can immediately get back to living your life unencumbered.
Before InterStimTM, daily medications offered the best chance for OAB patients to experience ongoing relief. While these medications occasionally offer results, they can be inconvenient to keep track of, costly, and lead to negative side effects. According to Dr. Bhalani, “InterStimTM offers the best of both worlds: long-term results without being tied to costly, and often ineffective, prescriptions.”
When not working with patients, the doctors enjoy spending time with their families around Alpharetta and Johns Creek. Dr. Bhalani can often be found playing with his children on the lawn at Avalon, dining with his wife at Milton’s Cuisine & Cocktails, or playing basketball at Life Time. You might run into Dr. McCullough playing hockey with his kids at the Alpharetta family skate center, The Cooler.
