Urine leak after surgery
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi I had anterior and posterior surgery 20 days ago and although my recovery has been going ok I have one real worry. I seem to need to have a wee quite often I'm sure I don't have an infection as there is no pain or stinging and I have a really good flow. I am finding that I am having a few damp knicker moments, often as it sit down. I have been doing the pelvic floor exercises as instructed and was hoping things would improve. Has anyone else experienced this, is it to be expected and how long will it last ? I didn't have any problems like this before surgery and am finding it a real worry. I'm terrify of becoming a Tena lady !

Linda is right, we shouldn't go, 'just in case'. It's something you're taught as a child, because who wants to hear that they need the toilet 5 mins after leaving home. But .. it teaches the bladder to want to be emptied before it's full. I wouldn't push that too much just now though while you're still healing.
A thing that you probably could start doing now is double voiding. When we pee there's usually a little left, so sit for another minute on the toilet, maybe even change position and swivel your hips a little bit, then sit and let those last drops out. That way your bladder is properly emptied. Apparently it's a trick the Royal ladies use, and it allows them to last longer while on official engagements! That may just be a rumour though.
