Marta Myburgh - Urogynaecology Clinical Nurse Specialist

For self-paying patients, Marta offers Percuatneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS).

PTNS is a form of treatment which is called neuromodulation. It is a minimally invasive procedure carried out in an outpatient setting.

The sacral plexus of nerves is responsible for regulating both bladder and bowel function; stimulation of these nerves can help to improve bladder and bowel problems.

Problems that PTNS can help are overactive bladder symptoms - such as needing to rush to the toilet to pass urine, frequently passing urine and waking up at night to go to the toilet - and faecal incontinence (the inability to control bowel movements, resulting in the accidental leakage of solid or liquid stool, mucus, or gas.
