Event Description
|
Information was received from a patient who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for urinary/bowel dysfunction and urge incontinence.It was reported that they had to turn their therapy off for almost two months because they had a really bad bladder infection through their body.The patient stated that their managing health care provider had told them to stop using the therapy and in the meantime with the therapy off, their bladder incontinence got really bad.Their health care provider (hcp) recently did a test on their bladder function and the patient stated the doctor told them it was really bad.Their health care provider told them to turn the therapy back on and the patient called for assistance in doing so.Patient services walked the patient through connecting to their settings and the patient was able to successfully turn the stimulation back on and increased to where the patient felt the stimulation comfortably in their bike-seat region.The patient was going to monitor their symptoms now that a change had been made, make an additional adjustment or call back for assistance if needed and reach out to their healthcare provider for further concerns about their symptoms.The patient reported additional medical information: that they had a bladder sling put in and that it eroded inside of them so they had to go back to kaiser about 3 weeks ago to have the pieces taken out of them and that they were a "real mess".Documented reported event.No further actions were taken by patient services.
