botox in the bladder

 Botox injection into the bladder is a well-established treatment for overactive bladder and urgency incontinence, including urgency incontinence associated with neurological disease. It has been used for many years to treat bladder problems in adults and children.


Botox is injected into the wall of the bladder through a cystoscope, which is a thin telescope that allows the doctor to see inside your bladder. The injections are made under anaesthetic so you should not feel any pain during the procedure.


The botulinum toxin relaxes the muscle of the bladder so that it can store urine more easily and also reduces the strong urges to pass urine that people with overactive bladders experience. This can reduce or stop leakage completely.

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).

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.
