”Urinary incontinence is a veritable social cancer for patients, especially female patients.” The term urinary incontinence is not very familiar to the public, but its incidence is high, and epidemiological surveys conducted in some areas of China show that the incidence of incontinence ranges from 18% – 53%, with the incidence in older women as high as 70% . Statistics from the American Urological Association show that more than 50% of women suffer from urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence not only brings negative emotions such as anxiety, embarrassment and frustration to patients, but also seriously affects their work and life. However, in daily life, many people choose to suffer in silence because they believe that incontinence is a natural phenomenon that occurs as they age, which is a very wrong view. In 2009, the International Continence Control Society (ICS) launched World Continence Week (WCW) in order to raise awareness of the disease worldwide, and defined the last week of June each year as World Continence Week, during which knowledge about continence is promoted worldwide. To promote the effective treatment of refractory functional voiding disorders such as refractory overactive bladder disorder, the Chinese Sacral Neuromodulation Specialist Alliance was initiated by the Urology Control Group of the Chinese Medical Association’s Urology Section and led by Wang Jianye in March 2015. According to Prof. Wang Jianye, the establishment of the alliance aims to promote the effective treatment of refractory functional voiding disorders such as refractory overactive bladder disorder, and to find “new hope” for patients with refractory overactive bladder disorder by popularizing, standardizing and developing sacral neuromodulation (bladder pacemaker) treatment. The bladder pacemaker has a cure rate of 80% for patients with urge incontinence. “If you drink 1500 – 2000 ml of water normally every day, the normal interval between urination should be more than 2 hours, the normal number of times you go to the toilet should be within 8 times a day, and the number of times you get up at night to go to the toilet should be within 1 time. Need to be alert to whether you suffer from urinary incontinence.” Wang Jianye pointed out that many people do not know that the inability to hold urine, urine leakage and other phenomena are diseases that require treatment. Many people are ashamed to talk about it and delay valuable treatment time, but also let their quality of life is seriously affected. In fact, advanced medical technology can well treat urinary incontinence so incontinence patients should seek treatment from professionals in a timely manner, in order to get rid of incontinence and embarrassment as soon as possible. Urinary incontinence can be broadly divided into two kinds, one is stress incontinence, such as some people will leak urine when coughing, sneezing, laughing, running, squatting, etc.; the other is urgent incontinence, that is, can not hold, just feel the urge to urinate has to urinate. For tension incontinence, women are more prone to the disease than men because of the short urethra and lack of bending, but the symptoms can be improved through exercise, and there are some surgical procedures that can treat it. Urge incontinence, on the other hand, often stems from overactive bladder, which means that the nerves that control bladder contraction to urinate have difficulty transmitting the correct on/off signals, and is much more difficult to treat. In addition to causing embarrassment, urge incontinence can cause a number of other problems. For example, most fall accidents in the elderly occur at night, when they get up on their way to the toilet because of the urgency of urinating at night. Many fall accidents could be avoided if there was a way to radically improve the symptoms of urge incontinence produced by overactive bladder. Professor Zhang Xiaodong, director of the Department of Urology at Chaoyang Hospital, a member of the Sacral Neuromodulation Consortium, is one of the early experts in bladder pacemaker therapy in China and has extensive experience in the field of bladder pacemaker treatment, which has a success rate of about 80% in the treatment of patients with urge incontinence, according to the report. ”For patients with refractory overactive bladder who run to the toilet multiple times a day, a bladder pacemaker can effectively relieve symptoms and help control the urge to urinate, which can allow patients to fully improve their sleep and quality of life.” Zhang Xiaodong noted. Professor Liao Limin, director of urology at Beijing Boai Hospital and a member of the Sacral Neuromodulation Expert Consortium, said that a bladder pacemaker is similar to a pacemaker, an electrical modulation therapy placed in the body for long-term use affects the sacral nerves through weak electrical impulses to modulate the bladder, sphincter and pelvic floor nerve reflexes. In short, it allows the nerves in charge of the bladder and urination to send accurate “on” and “off” signals to the brain. This treatment is particularly suitable for patients who suffer from various diseases such as urge incontinence, urinary frequency and urgency and other symptoms of overactive bladder, as well as for patients with non-obstructive chronic urinary retention and interstitial cystitis related to urination, where conservative treatment has not been effective. The improvement in voiding symptoms allows patients to resume their daily activities and also avoids the need for highly invasive procedures such as bladder enlargement or urinary diversion. More than 175,000 people have benefited from this therapy worldwide. Pacemaker therapy is divided into two phases: experiential therapy and long-term insertion. The experiential treatment allows the patient to experience the effects of the treatment before the pacemaker is inserted. After the experiential treatment, a voiding diary is kept and the improvement of symptoms is assessed. The pacemaker is turned on and programmed for appropriate stimulation by a medical programmer, and the patient has an external remote control to turn the pacemaker on and off and adjust the pacemaker program. The patient can return to the hospital periodically for follow-up visits with the physician, who then asks the engineer to adjust the program settings according to the progress of the disease. The patient can be discharged from the hospital in two or three days after the procedure is completed, and in two weeks it will be no problem to talk on a cell phone, use a microwave oven, swim in the water, etc.
