We hope this factsheet will help to answer some of the questions you may have.  \nWhat is Botox?  \nBotox (also known as botulinum toxin A) is a medicine that we use to treat a variety of muscle disorders. These include muscular spasms and an overactive bladder.  \nWe may offer you Botox treatment when other treatments, such as bladder training, physiotherapy and medications, such as solifenacin and mirabegron, have not helped.  \nHow can Botox treatment help?  \nBotox is a highly effective treatment for an overactive bladder. It works for 75% of women who have the treatment and is one of the few treatments that help with night time symptoms.  \nAn overactive bladder is caused by overactivity of the bladder wall muscle. This causes urinary frequency (needing to pee more often) and urinary urgency (needing to pee urgently) . It is often associated with urinary leakage (incontinence) .  \nBotox works by stopping the bladder wall muscle from contracting (squeezing) too much. This reduces urinary frequency and urgency and reduces urinary incontinence.  \nMost women notice improvements three to four days after having Botox treatment, but for some women, this may take up to three weeks.  \nBotox treatment is not a permanent solution and the effects will gradually wear off. We would expect the benefits to last for six to nine months, but this will vary for each individual. For some people, the effects of Botox treatment may last longer.  \nMost women will need to have further Botox treatments.  \nAt your Botox treatment appointment  \nBotox bladder treatment is given by injections under an anaesthetic (pain-numbing medication) .  \nIn most cases, you will have a local anaesthetic (which numbs the specific area we are treating) and will not need to stay in hospital overnight. Some people may need to have the treatment under a sedating medication or a general anaesthetic.  \nFor women having a local anaesthetic, an anaesthetic gel will be put into the urethra (bladder pipe) to numb it.  \n1  \n[www.uhs.nhs.uk](www.uhs.nhs.uk)  \nPatient information factsheet  \nOnce the area is numb, a thin tube called a cystoscope is inserted into the bladder. This tube is connected to a small camera, which allows the surgeon to look at the inside of the bladder.  \nThrough the tube, the surgeon will make ten to twenty small injections of Botox into specific sites of the bladder wall muscle. Because of the anaesthetic gel, the injections should not be painful, but there may be a pricking sensation or minor discomfort.  \nIn most cases, the tube will be inserted for less than five minutes.  \nAfter your Botox treatment  \nAfter your treatment, we may ask you to stay in the department for a couple of hours until you have passed urine and you feel well enough to go home. We may also need to check that your bladder is emptying by doing a simple bladder scan. After you have passed urine, we will place a scanner on your tummy to see whether there is any urine left in your bladder.  \nWe will usually give you a course of antibiotics, either by injection at your Botox treatment appointment or as a tablet.  \nYou can return to work the day after your Botox injection.  \nFollow-up appointments  \nYou will have a telephone follow-up appointment with the specialist nurse. Before this appointment, we may ask you to try a self-catheter to see whether you have any urine left in your bladder after going to the toilet.  \nSide effects  \nUrinary retention  \nUp to one in 20 women may have difficulty emptying their bladder fully after Botox treatment. If this happens, it may take a few days or weeks to become a problem.  \nInability to empty your bladder is usually temporary and lasts for a few days or weeks. However, it’s important to know that it can last longer in some cases and can sometimes last until the effect ","cbCaigI6S22TnZsJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigI6S22TnZsJ","pdf",247530,"English","# What is Botox?\n## How can Botox treatment help?\n# At your Botox treatment appointment\n## After your Botox treatment\n# Follow-up appointments\n# Side effects","[{\"question\":\"When is Botox offered for an overactive bladder?\",\"answer\":\"Botox may be offered when other treatments such as bladder training, physiotherapy, and medicines like solifenacin or mirabegron have not helped.\"},{\"question\":\"How long do the benefits of Botox usually last?\",\"answer\":\"Benefits are expected to last about six to nine months, but this varies by individual.
