Usually Yes: Botox will help correct the spasms of the sphincter and limit muscle irritation. Permits healing more rapidly. The time lag from injection to time of muscle effects may take 4-6 days, sometimes less. Good site care under the direction of your physician will be encouraged.

Rectal spasm: Botox will relieve spasm for several months. Nitroglycerin cream also works well for temporary relief.
