"Botox in bladder"

About: Thorndale Unit Urology / Botox Clinic

(as the patient),

The previous time I received Botox in my bladder was the first time that I had the procedure without general anesthesia. I was a little anxious about getting the procedure done without GA but surprisingly found receiving the procedure this way much better. The administration of the Botox was not painful only a little uncomfortable, and the staff did an excellent job during the entire procedure explaining what and when things were happening, making me feel at ease and relaxed, which I really appreciated. Another benefit I experienced was that there was no additional grogginess from not receiving the anesthesia during the procedure, which also made the procedure a lot quicker. I would recommend to any patient receiving this procedure to receive it without sedation.

Thank you for getting in touch! I am delighted to hear that you had such a good experience. It's great that you will be able to have your treatment without sedation or general anesthetic again in the future and having the procedure performed in an outpatient setting has many advantages and usually allows for a shorter visit to the hospital. Take care,
