Has anyone had trouble using the Bathroom? It feels like I will explode then when I sit down nothing! Is that normal

Urinary Tract Infection maybe???? Do you have pain or pressure?

Nope no pain or pressure I am 2 days post op and its driving me crazy

Were you able to urinate before you left the hospital? How was your output?

Are you home or still in the hospital?

Home now and was fine with going in the hospital went quite a bit but now not much

You could be having bladder spasms. It is important that you are able to urinate. Try to relax and give yourself a little longer on the toilet and see if you can, if you start to feel like you need to urinate and it becomes painful with a full bladder, go to the ER

Hopefully this is just temporary.

Your in my thoughts, I hope you get some relief.

One other question, are you getting in enough fluid?

I stayed one night in the hospital and I spent most of it in the bathroom trying to pee. Every trip I literally spent 30-45 minutes, sometimes an hour because I fell asleep, on the toilet. No pain or pressure either. I've had UTIs before and I knew it wasn't that. The nurses didn't seem too concerned. It lasted like that for probably 48-60 hours post-op.

Guess that wasn't much help but at least you know you're not alone! LOL

I had the same problem for several days after surgery. I had a lot of trouble going to the bathroom. It was a scary feeling. Thank goodness it eventually got better around day 4-5.

Ok ladies I think this is very personal but I need to ask if anyone else is having a strong urinal odor? I mean mines is pretty bad it makes me sick I feel like I have to shower twice a day.

Strong smelling urine (and dark yellow in colour) is usually caused by dehydration. However, see a Dr and have it tested! You are far better off not leaving it until other symptoms appear.

Dehydration and it doesn't take but a day or two after this surgery to get that way and dangerously so... if you have a strong smell, that could also be a result of the Vitamins you are taking since your surgery.. It could also be a sign of dehydration. You need to contact your doctor...

Needing to go but unable too is a very significant sign of dehydration.

Smelly urine is also a sign of infection. Did you have a catheter? Is your urine cloudy? It can also be a sign if pregnancy or diabetes. Get it checked out!

To OP, urinary retention is a common side effect if the anaesthetic in surgery. Hopefully it has resolved itself by now

Another reason urine smells is because of a lot of Protein, that is why we have to drink lots of Water....ketones makes it do that!!!
