Urinary urgency and frequency of nerve origin — New York

Medically reviewed by Dr Renaud Bollens — Professor of Urology

New York

Urinary urgency and frequency of nerve origin, seen through the experience of patients in New York, where sitting, commuting and desk work dominate the day.

Urgency, frequency and a sense of incomplete emptying can all be produced by pudendal nerve irritation, in the presence of a completely normal bladder work-up.

Patients often carry a diagnosis of overactive bladder or interstitial cystitis for years. When medication for those conditions has never helped, the assumption behind it deserves review.

As a urologist, Dr Bollens evaluates bladder symptoms and nerve symptoms in the same consultation instead of separating them between specialties.

Video consultations are scheduled for Eastern Time so New York patients do not need to take a day off to be assessed.
