Stomach Botox is a medical procedure used in the treatment of certain gastric (stomach) conditions. In this procedure, botulinum toxin is injected into the stomach muscles. Botulinum toxin affects the muscles, causing temporary paralysis and slowing down stomach movements.
Stomach Botox allows for temporary paralysis of the stomach muscles, which helps slow down and regulate stomach movements. The effects of botulinum toxin are temporary and diminish within a few months. Therefore, the procedure can be repeated when necessary.
Stomach Botox may be used in the following conditions:
Gastroparesis: Gastroparesis is a condition where the stomach muscles work slowly or irregularly. In this condition, stomach emptying is delayed, and the passage of food from the stomach to the small intestine is slowed. Stomach Botox can help alleviate symptoms by slowing down stomach movements.
Excessive Stomach Motility: Stomach Botox can be used when the stomach muscles are overly active. In this condition, stomach contractions speed up, and rapid emptying of food from the stomach can be problematic. Stomach Botox can help regulate stomach movements and manage symptoms.
