Botox injections (for bladder)

Botox injections for the bladder involve using a small amount of botulinum toxin to relax the muscles of the bladder wall. This procedure helps reduce overactive bladder symptoms like frequent urination, urgency, and incontinence. The injections are typically performed in a doctor’s office under local anesthesia, with multiple small injections into the bladder muscle. Botox works by blocking nerve signals that cause the bladder muscles to contract involuntarily, thus increasing bladder capacity and decreasing urgency. Effects usually last several months, and some patients may need repeat treatments to maintain symptom relief.
