bladder botox

 Botox is a brand name for a drug called botulinum toxin, which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.


Botox injections are used to treat muscle spasms and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. They're also used to treat:


Cervical dystonia — a condition that causes severe neck and shoulder contractions


Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)


Overactive bladder


Migraine headaches


Blepharospasm — a condition that causes uncontrollable blinking or eyelid spasms


Strabismus — a condition that causes one or both eyes to turn inwards or outwards, resulting in double vision


Urologists use Botox to treat overactive bladder by injecting it into the lining of your bladder through a small tube (cystoscope).
