For many women in our community, daily life is often dictated by the location of the nearest restroom. The sudden, overwhelming urge to go—or the fear of accidental leakage—can lead to “social hedging,” where you avoid trips, movies, or exercise out of bladder anxiety. At Tooele Urology, we want you to know that Overactive Bladder (OAB) is a treatable medical condition, not an inevitable part of aging.
Our clinic specializes in identifying the root causes of urinary urgency and frequency. We provide a path to relief that goes beyond “just dealing with it,” combining behavioral changes, modern medications, and advanced clinical therapies.
OAB is characterized by a group of urinary symptoms, the most common being a sudden, uncontrollable urge to urinate. This happens because the bladder muscle (the detrusor) signals the brain that it is full, even when it isn’t.
We help women manage the four primary symptoms of OAB:
Before starting treatment, it is vital to understand how your bladder is behaving. Tooele Urology is equipped with Urodynamic Testing—a sophisticated diagnostic suite that measures bladder pressure, volume, and nerve communication. These tests allow our doctors to see exactly how your lower urinary tract functions, ensuring your treatment plan is based on data, not guesswork.
We follow a progressive care model, ensuring we find the most effective solution with the least intervention.
Many patients see significant improvement through simple lifestyle modifications. We provide guidance on bladder retraining, fluid management (including addressing bladder irritants such as caffeine), and pelvic floor strengthening.
If lifestyle changes aren’t enough, we utilize the latest class of OAB medications. These prescriptions work to relax the bladder muscle or calm overactive nerve signals, helping your bladder hold more urine comfortably.
For women who do not find relief through medication or who experience unwanted side effects, we offer Botox® injections directly into the bladder muscle. This office-based procedure helps “quiet” the involuntary contractions that cause urgency. The effects typically last for several months, providing a long-term reprieve from frequency.
Tooele Urology is proud to offer InterStim™ Therapy, often described as a “pacemaker for the bladder.” This advanced technology targets the communication gap between your brain and the nerves that control the bladder. By sending gentle electrical pulses to the sacral nerves, InterStim can significantly reduce or even eliminate symptoms of urgency and incontinence.
PTNS is a non-surgical, office-based treatment that utilizes neuromodulation to calm the bladder. It is a painless process that involves stimulating a nerve near the ankle, which connects to the bladder-control centers in the spine.
