Before your Anal Botox treatment, avoid using any blood-thinning medications or supplements for at least a week. Ensure the treatment area is clean, and follow any specific instructions your healthcare provider provides. Discussing your complete medical history with your provider is essential to ensure your treatment is safe.
A topical numbing cream will be applied to the area during the procedure to minimize discomfort. The healthcare provider will then inject Botox into specific sites within the internal anal sphincter muscle. The entire process typically takes about 3 minutes and is generally well-tolerated.
Post-treatment, you might experience mild swelling or tenderness in the treated area, which usually subsides quickly. It’s essential to follow any aftercare instructions given by your provider, including avoiding strenuous activities for the first 24-48 hours. Regular follow-up appointments may be recommended to maintain optimal results.
