☎ (706) 543-6261 LOCATIONS ABOUT US PATIENT RESOURCES OVERACTIVE BLADDER Overactive bladder is a condition characterized by symptoms like frequent urination, urgency (feeling like you have to void very urgently), incontinence (wetting on the way to the toilet). These symptoms can range from mild to very severe and can have a significant impact on your quality of life. Men and women can suffer from an overactive bladder. Medication is often effective, but if medications are not working or if they are not tolerated, there are other more advanced options including Interstim (neuromodulation) and Botox of the bladder. We have a longstanding experience with these options and will work with you and your goals of treatment to create a customized treatment approach for your bladder and your life.
