Talk to a Volunteer Who Has InterStim Therapy
InterStim Therapy volunteers are not medical experts or Medtronic InterStim Therapy employees. They're people who experience bladder control problems and are willing to answer your questions about life with InterStim Therapy.
Darlene D., Urinary urge incontinence
"I feel so carefree. I don't have to think about hitting the bathroom all the time. My life is no longer controlled by my bladder."

Tricia C., Urinary retention
"Because I am no longer dependent on self-catheterization, I have the freedom to go where I want, when I want, for as long as I want, because I'm not in constant fear of 'what if I can't go?'"

Melissa M., Urgency-frequency
"I remember standing in Wal-Mart with a cart full of stuff and realizing I had to go. I had only walked a few steps toward the bathroom, when I had an accident. I was so embarrassed. I left the store crying."

Cheryl, Urgency-frequency
"My doctor said, 'This is just something that happens when women get older. You'll get used to it.' I didn't buy that, since I'm only in my 50s, but I was too embarrassed to talk to anybody about my problem."

Tanya P., Urgency-frequency
"InterStim Therapy has added so much time to my schedule. It's such a positive life-changing thing. I didn't realize how many ways my bladder problems impacted me – even little things. Now my hands aren't dried out from washing them all the time. I have new peace of mind."
