Does Urgent PC Neuromodulation work long term for bladder frequency? I don't know if it's worth a try my health insurance isn't good. And I'm having trouble with all meds so far.

Hi,

Welcome to the forum. I am really glad to help you out. Urgent PC Neuromodulation is a new technology for urinary/urge incontinence. This is a neurostimulator that acts on the tibial nerve through the ankle via which it sends a signal to the sacral nerve plexus that regulates urinary function.

The advantage of the system lies in its indirect, minimally invasive action. This technique has proven to be useful but long term efficacy is still not established. However, still not bad to give it a try. Please consult your urologist for the same. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
