botox in the bladder

 Botox injection into the bladder is a well-established treatment for overactive bladder and urgency incontinence, including urgency incontinence associated with neurological disease. Botox is also used to treat detrussor overactivity in patients with bladder outlet obstruction due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or bladder neck contracture.
