The findings of this study were published in the International Urogynecology Journal.
Medication and surgery are frequent treatments for treating primary bladder neck blockage in women. In individuals whose conservative care has failed, a less invasive procedure like a bladder neck botulinum toxin injection may be an alternative option.

Utilizing uroflowmetry's Qmax maximum flow rate and post-void residual (PVR), objective parameters were evaluated.
The key findings of this study were as follows:
