Bladder Instillations

Bladder instillations involve directly delivering medication into the bladder through a catheter to treat conditions like inflammation, infections, or overactive bladder. The process typically includes emptying the bladder, then inserting a thin tube (catheter) to administer the medication, which stays in for a specific period before being emptied. This targeted approach allows the medication to directly contact the bladder lining, reducing symptoms and inflammation more effectively with fewer systemic side effects. Bladder instillations are usually performed in a healthcare setting and can be part of ongoing treatment for certain urinary symptoms and bladder disorders.
