Regain Control: How Axonics Therapy is Changing the Game for Male Incontinence

For many men, urinary incontinence is more than just a minor inconvenience—it’s a condition that can significantly impact daily life, confidence, and social interactions. While treatments like pelvic floor exercises, medications, and lifestyle modifications can help some, others need a more advanced solution. That’s where Axonics Therapy comes in. At Los Angeles Urology, Dr. Ali Afshar specializes in cutting-edge solutions like Axonics Therapy to help men in Los Angeles and beyond regain control over their bladder function and quality of life.

Understanding Male Incontinence

Urinary incontinence affects millions of men, with studies estimating that 11-16% of men experience some form of bladder leakage. While it becomes more common with age, it’s not just a condition for older adults—many men experience incontinence due to prostate surgery, nerve damage, or other medical conditions.

Common types of male incontinence include:

• Urge Incontinence: Sudden, strong urges to urinate that result in leakage.
• Stress Incontinence: Leakage caused by pressure on the bladder, often after prostate surgery.
• Mixed Incontinence: A combination of urge and stress incontinence.
• Overflow Incontinence: Difficulty emptying the bladder completely, leading to dribbling.

For men dealing with persistent bladder control issues, Axonics Therapy offers a long-term, FDA-approved solution that directly addresses bladder dysfunction at its source.

What is Axonics Therapy?

Axonics Therapy is an advanced neuromodulation treatment designed to improve bladder and bowel function. This therapy works by sending mild electrical pulses to the sacral nerves, which control bladder activity. When these nerves function properly, they help regulate urination and prevent involuntary leaks.

The treatment involves:

1. A Trial Period – A temporary external system is used to see if Axonics Therapy effectively improves bladder control.
2. Long-Term Implantation – If successful, a small rechargeable device is implanted near the lower back, providing long-term relief.

Unlike medications that only mask symptoms, Axonics Therapy restores normal communication between the brain and bladder, offering lasting relief without unwanted side effects.

The Benefits of Axonics Therapy for Men

Men who choose Axonics Therapy often experience significant improvements in bladder function, including:

• Fewer Urgent Trips to the Bathroom – Reduce sudden, uncontrollable urges to urinate.
• Less Frequent Nighttime Urination – Enjoy uninterrupted sleep without waking up multiple times.
• Reduced Accidents and Leaks – Regain confidence in social and professional settings.
• Minimally Invasive & Long-Lasting – The implant lasts up to 15 years, offering a low-maintenance alternative to other treatments.

A recent clinical study published in Urology found that 90% of patients reported a significant reduction in incontinence episodes after receiving sacral neuromodulation therapy like Axonics.
