bladder botox

 Botox is a form of botulinum toxin, also known as Botox, which is used to treat wrinkles. Doctors can also inject Botox into your bladder to treat overactive bladder and incontinence.


It works by paralyzing the muscles in the bladder wall. This helps the muscles relax, which will give you more time to get to the bathroom when you feel the need to urinate.


Botox injections are done in the clinic, and most patients tolerate the injections well.

botox for overactive bladder

 There are many different types of treatments for overactive bladder. One of the most effective is a Botox injection into the bladder. The Botox injection is a well-established treatment for overactive bladder and urgency incontinence, but not everyone with overactive bladder needs to have it injected. Botox injections are used to treat other conditions, including wrinkles and migraines, so you might be familiar with the term. For overactive bladder and urgency incontinence, a small amount of the drug is injected into your bladder muscle through a thin tube called a catheter, which is inserted into your urethra (the tube that carries urine from your bladder to outside your body). The drug helps relax the muscle in your bladder wall, which can help control the symptoms of overactive bladder, such as frequent urination. Botox injections aren't recommended if you have severe kidney or liver disease or if you're allergic to any ingredient in botulinum toxin type A (Botox).

botox bladder injections

 Botox bladder injections work by relaxing the muscles of the bladder so that you have more time to get to the bathroom when you feel the need to urinate. Botox bladder injections for urge incontinence or overactive bladder are usually given every 6-9 months. In some patients, they may last as long as a year. Some patients will experience a temporary urinary retention after Botox bladder injections. This means that you might not be able to pass urine right away and might need a catheter. In addition, some patients may experience a burning sensation while passing urine after Botox bladder injections. This is usually short-lived and is typically treated with medication.
