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.

I recently finished my participation in a clinical trial with Botox used
to reduce urinary urgency. I would have been happy to merely reduce the
number of times I had to get up at night. At this point, I do not know
whether I was receiving Botox or placebo. My guess is that I was
receiving the placebo.

In any event, I found the injections of the medication to be very
uncomfortable. If it worked, I would have to get them about every four
to six months. I turned down the opportunity to get a round of the real
stuff.

Thus, work is still continuing on this topic.
