botox bladder injections

 A urologist can inject Botox into your bladder to treat urge incontinence or overactive bladder. This helps the muscles relax, which will give you more time to get to the bathroom when you feel the need to urinate. The injections are done in the clinic, and most patients tolerate the injections well.


The first step is identifying what is causing your symptoms. If your symptoms are severe, we may recommend an outpatient procedure that enables us to see inside the bladder (cystoscopy) while the bladder is full of urine. This may be performed in conjunction with filling cystometry, which allows us to measure how much urine is in your bladder before you have a strong sensation of needing to urinate and when you begin leaking urine (urge incontinence).


During this procedure, a small tube is passed through the urethra into the bladder, and a small balloon at the tip of it is filled with water until it touches the walls of your bladder. This pressure helps us determine how much urine is in your bladder before you have a strong sensation of needing to urinate and when you begin leaking urine (urge incontinence).
