Botox for Bladders

This month, we’re spotlighting an innovative use of Botox that’s been a game-changer in urology: Botox for Bladders. Originally developed to relax muscles, Botox was first used therapeutically over 20 years ago for quadriplegics with spastic bladders. The results were so impressive that it became a go-to treatment for overactive bladders as well.

Dr. Christi has been using Botox to treat overactive bladders for over 15 years, offering a procedure that is both quick and effective. After numbing the bladder for 30 minutes, Dr. Christi uses a scope to inject Botox directly into the bladder muscle—a process that takes less than five minutes!

Most patients experience a significant reduction in bladder urgency within ten days, with full effects noticeable by 12 weeks. This treatment offers life-changing relief for about 85% of patients, and results typically last around six months before a follow-up session is needed.

Insurance and Pricing Information: This procedure is covered by Medicare and most insurance plans. For those without insurance coverage, we offer very reasonable direct pay pricing of $1,200 per injection, which will give you freedom from leaks for six months.

Whether you’re dealing with urinary incontinence or a non-leaky overactive bladder, Botox might be the solution you’ve been searching for. If you’re tired of constantly running to the bathroom, give us a call to discuss if this treatment could be right for you!
