PTNS or Urgent PC is an office-based, minimally-invasive treatment for urinary urgency, urinary frequency and urge incontinence. A small slim needle electrode is temporarily inserted near your ankle. The needle electrode is then connected to the battery-powered stimulator. After turning on the stimulator, Paula will observe your body¹s response to determine the ideal strength of the impulses. This treatment is well tolerated and usually involves weekly treatments for 8 ­ 12 weeks. Usually an improvement can be seen as early as 3 treatments but sometimes not until around 6 treatments. This can significantly improve urinary urge and frequency issues for patients.
