I am an 82 year old male and am having my first botox injection on Jan 14 2026. It is not for incontinence however, it is for frequent urination at night. There are other posts in this group talking about this.

Hi, @helpmehealplease. Yes, Botox injections can be used to help with incontinence, particularly urge incontinence. Mayo Clinic has more information: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/overactive-bladder/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20355721

There are a few conversations on this topic that you might find helpful:

Is this a treatment your doctor has recommended to you?
