Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation in Overactive Bladder Management

Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) is a minimally invasive treatment for overactive bladder, a condition that causes frequent urination and urgency. It involves sending mild electrical pulses through a small needle placed near the posterior tibial nerve, located near the ankle. These pulses help regulate the nerves controlling the bladder, reducing symptoms. The procedure is typically done in a doctor's office and requires multiple sessions. PTNS aims to improve bladder control and enhance quality of life for those experiencing urinary issues without the need for surgery or ongoing medication.
