For a 68-year-old woman from Matawan, New Jersey, life was a constant map of nearby restrooms. For more than 10 years, an overactive bladder (OAB) controlled her every move, turning simple outings like shopping or going to the movies into a source of anxiety. After medications failed to provide lasting relief, she worried this was a life sentence.
Her search for a better solution led her to Nina Bhatia, M.D., a urogynecologist at Old Bridge Medical Center. Dr. Bhatia introduced her to Axonics Therapy, a small, implantable device that works like a "pacemaker for the bladder," calming the nerve signals that cause the constant, urgent need to go.
After a successful trial, the patient received the permanent implant and experienced a dramatic turnaround. The constant pressure was gone, and for the first time in years, she felt in control of her life. Her story is a powerful message of hope for the millions who suffer in silence.
