Enlarged Prostate Might Be Relieved with Botox injections

The study involved 41 men, who were in the age range of 49 to 79, and who suffered enlarged prostate and who were not getting better with the usual treatment for this ailment.

After the patients were injected with Botox injections directly into their prostate, nearly 31 patients expressed a 30 percent improvement in the previous symptoms. This obviously improved their quality of life which also lasted up to a year after the injections. Nearly 80% of the patients were able to drain their bladders fully, from the period of a week to one month from the time they received the injection. There were no important side-effects reported.
