Dear All:

I have found some old articles talking about positive results in
treating BPH with BOTOX. Unfortunately, most of them appear to be 5
years old or so. Does anyone know the current status of this
treatment???

I am familiar with Botox treatments for Hyperhydrosis (excessive perspiration) and Strabismus, and in each case the effectiveness of Botox lasts six months +or-. The benefit is temporary unless injections are repeated at regular intervals.

I would think the relief of BPH symptoms by using Botox, if it works, would also be temporary. Periodic reinjections would be required. Should Botox be injected into bladder muscle by mistake, you might have a bladder control problem.
