Botulinum toxin type A (Botox\u00ae) injections<\/strong> into the bladder are a recognized and effective treatment for relieving certain urinary disorders, notably overactive bladder<\/strong> or neurological bladder<\/strong> resistant to conventional treatments.<\/p>

Botox\u00ae injections are indicated when the patient suffers from :<\/p>

Idiopathic overactive bladder (not related to a neurological cause):<\/strong><\/p>

\u2714 Urgent urge to urinate,
\u2714 urinary incontinence,
\u2714 Frequent urination day and night,
\u2714 despite the failure of anticholinergic or beta-3 agonist drugs.<\/p>

Overactive neurological bladder (due to damage to the nervous system):<\/strong><\/p>

\u2714 multiple sclerosis,
\u2714 spinal cord injury,
\u2714 spina bifida,
\u2714 with incontinence or chaotic bladder contractions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Treatment objective<\/b><\/p>

Botox\u00ae works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals responsible for involuntary bladder contractions.
The aim is to :<\/p>

Reduce urgency and leakage
Increase bladder capacity
Significantly improve urinary quality of life
Avoid the need for more intensive treatments<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

Procedure<\/strong><\/p>

Location<\/strong> : in a clinic, often on an outpatient basis
Duration<\/strong> : 10 to 20 minutes
Anesthesia<\/strong> : local (urethral gel), regional or general depending on the patient’s comfort<\/p>

Technical<\/b><\/em><\/p>

\ud83d\udd39 Performed through the natural tract (urethra) using a flexible endoscope
\ud83d\udd39 Botulinum toxin injections at several points of the bladder wall using a fine needle<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

Follow-up and results<\/strong><\/p>

Expected effects<\/b><\/em><\/p>

Visible improvement within 7 to 10 days
Maximum effectiveness at 4 weeks
Duration of action: ~6 to 9 months (sometimes longer)
The treatment can be repeated if the effects wear off.<\/p>

Benefits<\/b><\/em><\/p>

\u2714 Non-surgical alternative
\u2714 Minimally invasive procedure, performed on an outpatient basis
\u2714 High satisfaction rate (70\u201380% improvement in good profiles)<\/p>

Possible side effects<\/b><\/em><\/p>

\ud83d\udd39 Urinary retention: difficulty urinating that may require temporary self-catheterization (\u224810\u201320% of cases)
\ud83d\udd39 Urinary tract infection: antibiotic prophylaxis may be prescribed
\ud83d\udd39 Very rarely: traces of blood in the urine, local discomfort<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

Contraindications<\/strong><\/p>

\ud83d\udd39 Active urinary tract infection at the time of the act
\ud83d\udd39 Uncorrected coagulation disorders
\ud83d\udd39 Pregnancy or breastfeeding
\ud83d\udd39 History of allergy to botulinum toxin (rare)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
