bladder botox

 Urge incontinence, or overactive bladder, is a condition in which the bladder muscles contract and cause the urgent need to urinate. The urge may be so strong that you don't get to the bathroom in time. Botox injections can help relax the bladder muscles and treat this condition.*

Bladder Botox injections are a treatment for overactive bladder and urinary incontinence. The injections relax the bladder muscles, which helps to reduce the frequency of urination.

Bladder Botox is a procedure that's done by a urologist. The doctor may use local anesthesia or sedation to numb the area. Then he'll insert a cystoscope into the urethra and bladder. A cystoscope is a thin, hollow tube with a light on the end of it. The urologist uses the cystoscope to guide a needle into the wall of your bladder.

During the injections, you may feel pressure or some discomfort, but you shouldn't feel any pain. You may also have some blood in your urine after the procedure.
