What is bladder Botox Injections?
Overactive bladder shows itself as a sudden urge to pass urine that cannot be put off, passing urine often, getting up at night to pass urine and sometimes leaking before reaching the toilet. Botulinum toxin can be injected into the bladder muscle in people who have not improved enough with bladder training, fluid adjustment and medicines, or who cannot tolerate the side effects of medicines. During the procedure a thin camera (cystoscope) is passed through the urethra into the bladder, and small amounts of medicine are injected into many points in the bladder wall. The medicine temporarily reduces the nerve signals that trigger the muscle to contract, so urgency and leakage episodes decrease. The effect starts within a few days to two weeks and is not permanent; when it fades over months, the treatment can be repeated. It is also used for neurogenic bladder due to multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury. Its main drawback is that in some patients the bladder does not empty completely and self-catheterisation may be needed for a while; this possibility should be accepted before the procedure.
