Botox Treatment For Overactive Bladder Video
A overactive bladder refers to a bladder that contracts too often or too strongly, and cannot be controlled voluntarily. This has embarrassing consequences, for example, where the sufferer feels a sudden urge to pass urine and the urge is so strong that he cannot control the urine. The bladder proceeds to empty itself within less than a minute, before the sufferer can reach a toilet in time. This results in the sufferer wetting his pants or her dress, usually in full view of the public.
One recent and popular way of treating this problem is by the injection of botox in various points into the musculature of the over active bladder, to weaken the muscles so the sudden involuntary contraction of the bladder muscles is much lessened. Following is a video view through a cystoscope showing how botox treatment of over active bladder is done.
A cystoscope is inserted under anesthesia through the urethra or urinary passage into the bladder with the bladder fully distended with water. Close to about 100 units of botox are injected into 20 to 30 points in the muscular wall of the bladder. Effect comes on about 4 days after the botox injection. The desired effect is a massive reduction in the uncontrollable urge to pass urine and the ability to control the urine till a convenient time.
