Bladder Botox · Detrusor Injection for Overactive Bladder in Bangkok

Bladder Botox is an in-clinic cystoscopic injection of onabotulinumtoxinA into the detrusor (bladder) muscle · it relaxes the muscle and dramatically reduces urinary frequency, urgency, and urge incontinence in patients whose overactive bladder hasn’t responded to oral medications. Effects last 6-9 months on average.

How to Prepare for Bladder Botox

  • Confirm refractory overactive bladder
    Bladder Botox is for OAB that has failed adequate trials of behavioral therapy and at least one anticholinergic or beta-3 agonist medication.

  • Urodynamics if indicated
    Pressure-flow studies to confirm detrusor overactivity and rule out outlet obstruction (BPH) as the cause of symptoms.

  • Urine culture
    Treat any urinary infection before injection.

  • Counseling on retention risk
    About 5% of men need temporary self-catheterization · we train you on intermittent self-catheterization before the injection.

  • Antibiotic prophylaxis
    Single-dose antibiotic before the procedure.

  • Plan transport home
    Generally not required if procedure is under local anesthesia · but consider if anxiety or pre-existing fragility.

What Happens During Bladder Botox

  • Anesthesia
    Local anesthesia gel for clinic-based flexible cystoscopy · TIVA in theater for patients who prefer sedation.

  • Cystoscope insertion
    Flexible cystoscope passed through the urethra into the bladder.

  • Injection mapping
    The bladder is filled to mid-distention · 20 injection sites are mapped across the detrusor.

  • Botulinum toxin injection
    100-200 units of onabotulinumtoxinA injected through a fine needle at each site · each injection takes seconds.

  • Scope removal and discharge
    Total procedure time around 30 minutes including consent and recovery.

  • Follow-up at 2 and 4 weeks
    Effects begin in 1-2 weeks · peak at 4-6 weeks · follow-up confirms symptom improvement and rules out urinary retention.

Frequently asked questions

When should I consider bladder Botox?

Will I need to catheterize myself?

About 5% of men temporarily need intermittent self-catheterization (CIC) after bladder Botox · usually for a few weeks. We train you on CIC before the injection so you’re prepared if needed.

What are the risks?

Most common: urinary tract infection (5-10%), urinary retention requiring CIC (around 5%), and brief blood in urine. Serious complications are rare in carefully selected patients.
