Do you have problems with urgency and or urgency urinary incontinence? Do you feel a constant need to use the toilet? Do you suffer from an overactive bladder syndrome? Botulinum toxin therapy into the baldder will allow you to return to normal!

Purpose of the procedure

The aim of this procedure is to weaken the bladder muscles, leading to an increase in bladder capacity and a decrease in the frequency of urination. This treatment is primarily used in cases of overactive bladder and patients with symptoms of urge incontinence, as well as patients with painful bladder syndrome

Indications for the procedure

Overactive bladder
Urge incontinence
High bladder pressure
Painful bladder syndrome

Contraindications

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Untreated urinary tract infections
Hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin
Neurological diseases (e.g., myasthenia gravis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
Use of antiplatelet or anticoagulant medications

Preparation for the procedure

Consultation with a doctor
Performing a urine culture
Discontinuation of antiplatelet and anticoagulant medications
In case of urinary tract infection, antibiotic treatment should be administered

Procedure process

The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia. The doctor inserts a cystoscope (a thin, flexible instrument with a camera) into the urethra to obtain an image of the bladder interior. Then, botulinum toxin is injected directly into the bladder muscles using a thin needle. The number of injection sites and dosage of the toxin depend on the individual needs of the patient

Complications after the procedure

Urinary tract infection
Bleeding
Difficulty urinating
Transient urinary incontinence

Post-procedure recommendations

Taking medications according to the doctor's recommendation
Informing the doctor of any concerning symptoms
Regular follow-up visits with the doctor

Expected results after the procedure:

Decreased frequency of urination
Improved control over urination
Increased bladder capacity
Overall improvement in quality of life

Duration of treatment effects

The effects of the procedure can last from several months to a year. Therefore, some patients may require repeat treatments to maintain the desired results

Alternative treatment methods:

In cases where bladder injection with botulinum toxin does not provide the expected results or there are contraindications to the procedure, other treatment methods are available, such as:

Pharmacological treatment (e.g., anticholinergics, beta-adrenergic blockers)
Physiotherapy (pelvic floor muscle exercises)
Sacral nerve stimulation
Surgery (e.g., artificial sphincter implantation, bladder augmentation)
