Botox for Overactive Bladder

Posted by slr123 @slr123, 2 days ago

I had Botox bladder injections for Overactive Bladder (OAB) four months ago. It has worked phenomenally well. The beneficial effects seem to be slowly wearing off. I have an Interstim which no longer helps. Medications have had significant side effects. Has anyone experience with bladder Botox and if so how long do the effects last and how quickly do the OAB symptoms return?

sir123, 3 to 6 months. But sometimes after a few injections, it just calms down. The return of symptoms is usually gradual.

I've gotten botox injections for cluster migraines since 2009 every 90 days and they literally save my life because the pain was so severe, I didn't want to live. I was going to start researching botox for overactive bladder myself. Does a urologist do the injections? I see a neurologist for the headaches. I was just DX in January and TURBT done 2 weeks ago at Mayo with mito treatment and stent in left ureter. Thanks in advance for your help!
