Can Botox bladder injection cause weight gain?

Question

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question.  Botox placed into the bladder for spasticity should not cause any weight gain.  Hope this helps.

Melvin Elson, MD · Answer

Botox for bladder spasticity may cause a temporary water retention but this is not really weight gain and should resolve quickly

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

Botox use should not result in weight gain of any kind. When treating bladder spasticity you may retain a quarter to half a pound more in weight but that is the limit. Good luck from New York City

Neurotoxin to the bladder can used for "overactive bladder" symptoms to relax the spacticity of the bladder muscles.  As a side effect, you can retain more urine thus increasing your weight.  Significant weight can should be discussed with the provider who performed the procedure as urine retension can be problematic too.
