Overview
Botox (OnabotulinumtoxinA) isn't just for wrinkles. It is an effective treatment for Overactive Bladder (OAB) symptoms such as severe urgency and incontinence when oral medications haven't worked.
The Procedure
The procedure is performed in the office or a short hospital visit. A cystoscope (a small camera) is inserted into the bladder, and Botox is injected into the bladder muscle wall. This relaxes the muscle, reducing urgency and leakage.
Recovery
Recovery is quick, and most patients can return to normal activities the same day. You may notice a reduction in symptoms within 2 weeks, with effects lasting about 6 months.
Benefits
Effective Relief
Significantly reduces daily leakage episodes and the urge to urinate.
Minimally Invasive
No major surgery or incisions required.
