What Does a Bladder Botox Treatment Involve?
This type of bladder treatment can be completed in the office with the use of local anesthesia. To begin, the anesthesia is placed via a catheter and remains in the bladder for 20-30 minutes to numb the bladder lining. Once 20-30 minutes have passed, a small scope (about the size of the catheter) with a camera is placed in the bladder through the urethra. Then, a series of injections of the Botox solution are inserted into the muscle of the bladder using a small needle. Overall, the injection procedure takes about five minutes or less.
Benefits of Bladder Botox Injections
- Reduce or eliminate urinary incontinence episodes.
- Reduce or eliminate feelings of severe urgency.
- Reduce urination frequency during the day and night.
- Reduce or eliminate needing a pad for urinary incontinence.
Overall, about 75% of people experience a reduction in their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
