Botox is no secret to the public; it is a cheaper way to smooth out those wrinkles than going under the knife.

According to everydayhealth.com Botox is facing several clinical trials with incontinence treatment and, even though FDA has yet to approve this new idea, some military hospitals and private physicians have started using Botox to treat those who suffer from lack of bladder control.

Doctors are becoming certain that Botox could properly interfere with the contractions in the muscles surrounding the bladder which would help the muscles relax, preventing spasms.

The negative aspects are:

  • Potential to paralyze bladder
  • Could spread
  • Repetitive treatments
  • Insurance companies won’t pay since it is not FDA approved

Find a Urologist near your home to help you with your bladder control problem.

You could be a part of a clinical trial if you have serious bladder control issues. Go to www.clinicaltrials.gov to find a clinical trial near you.
