Bladder problems after Hysterectomy

Hi,

I had a hysterectomy on the 13th of December  due to having endometrial cancer. Two weeks into my recovery I got a bladder infection and my GP gave me 5 days worth of antibiotics to clear it and everything was okay for about three weeks. Now again My urine stream is really weak, I've been having to pee during the night which I never need to and I feel as though my bladder isn't emptying fully and I need to go more than usual.
 

I don't know whether I should be worried about this

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    It is not uncommon for women to experience bladder problems after this surgery. Most of the time this will be due to weak pelvic floor muscles. Things do take time to recover after this surgery. 

    Do speak with your Dr about this, and see what they suggest to help you. Kegel or pelvic floor exercises as they are known, can help alot.

    I hope that this helps,

    Kind regards,

    Vanda
