BOTOX ISN’T JUST FOR FACES

About 20 years ago, researchers began to use Botox for quadriplegics who had spastic bladders. The Botox injection proved to be so effective, they next tried it out for people with overactive bladder. The results were life changing.

Dr. Christi has used Botox to improve women’s lives for over 9 years, refining the technique to make it very easy on her patients.

How Botox Treatments for Bladders Work

We’ll talk with you openly and honestly about your concerns, and whether previous exercises and treatments have helped. If they haven’t, bladder botox may be the best solution, and we’ll schedule your procedure.

You’ll choose from 2 options to prepare for this procedure. You may take Valium, and then we numb the bladder for 30 minutes to decrease any discomfort. Or you can choose brief general anesthetic while Botox is delivered.

Once prepared, the Botox is delivered to the bladder through a scope that is carefully and gently inserted into the urethra tube. The procedure takes less than 5 minutes.

On average, patients rate the pain from this overactive bladder treatment in Houston, TX, as 4 out of 10 in severity.

Botox starts to take effect about 10 days after delivery, and patients report a life-changing difference. A more reliable bladder means fewer trips to the bathroom and panties that stay dry.

BLADDER BOTOX FAQs

Get all your questions answered about Botox for bladder control at LifeSculpt™ by ChristiMD. Learn more about this and our comprehensive urogynecology services in Houston.

Overactive bladder happens when the bladder is hyperactive, and the muscles in the bladder wall develop a spastic condition.

Often, this occurs in neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis or stroke, but for most women the cause is unknown. It is more common after menopause, so there is likely a hormonal component.

Overactive does cause urine leakage—but also may not.  Overactive Bladder can be “wet” or “dry,” and Botox can help both conditions.

With dry OAB, you frequently have the “gotta go” feeling and make too many trips to the bathroom. Those who suffer from wet OAB often cannot make it to the bathroom in time.

There are possible side effects to bladder Botox, which may include:

  • Urinary tract infection (UTI)
  • Pain and/or difficult urination
  • Inability to empty the bladder

These possible side effects are rare and temporary.
