Bladder Problems

I am 5 weeks post op from hysterectomy- I
have one ovary remaining. I have had pain
with urination since day one and it is not
getting better. My doc has consulted
with urologist and I am now on some
medication. Slight improvement but still
not comfortable to urinate. Is this
common? It feels like my bladder is being
pinched during midflow. Can anyone help
me with some advise? Thanks

It could have been from the catheter. I
know that mine was not inserted correctly
and I almost blew up! Finally the nurse
listened to me and I filled up to the brim
one of those potty specimen things.
(they call it a speci-hat in the hospital
b/c it looks like a hat) suggest pyridium
to your doc. It is used for urinary
tract infects. And it kind of "numbs" the
urethra so that you can have less painful
urination. Beware, it turns your urine
orange, but that's a hell of alot better
than dreading to go to the bathroom b/c
you know that you are going to scream!
Hope that helps! Jenn

Bladder Problem

I had a hysterectomy back on 6-29-04
during which my bladder was damaged. It
was repaired at the time but I still have
a leakage. Right now I have 2 cathers.
One of which is attached to a urinary bag
for drainage. I have had the problem
with the burning when urinaring. I was
told by my urologist that this comes about
when the cather has been in there so long.
In 2 more weeks I am going back in for
another operation to have my bladder
repaired again. I am hoping that this is
the last time I have to have this done.
They have waited this long to give my body
a chance to recover from the hysterectomy.

Bless your heart. I hope that all goes
well at the next visit. I hated that
catheter so bad! I can not imagine still
having it in!

Hi - i'm new here, ran across your forum
while hunting for information regarding
bladder damage during a hysterectomy...My
"hyst" was last tuesday (the 16th) and my
bladder was "nicked" during surgery.
After four days in the hospital, I got to
come home with my new friend "foley" - i'm
sorry but I don't like foley very much
 .
Luckily, I should be able to have him
removed next monday - but in the mean
while, i'm experiencing something new it
seems every day! My doctor finally
prescribed xcolycaine (i'm sure I spelled
it wrong but don't have the energy to walk
upstairs to check) for the burning i've
been having - what a relief! Has anyone
else tried this? And please, tell me
that in the end all of this will have been
worth it?
Debbi

Someone had asked if everyone has their
bladder tacked after a hysterectomy. The
answer is no. The correct term for
tacking of the bladder is a tvt-
transvaginal taping. It is a very simple
and quick procedure. It is not always
successful, but it usually is. The
reason for the tvt is because there is no
longer a uterus to support the bladder.
Over time, our pelvic muscles relax.
That is why it is very important to do our
keigles!! Xylocaine(topical) for foley
discomfort is a blessing for sure! As
far as damaging a bladder during a
gynological procedure, it can happen many
ways. First, the doctor can nick it with
scissors or another instrument. While
pushing down the bladder to remove the
uterus, it can be torn. Any of these
injuries, if caught before closure, can be
fixed with a chromic suture. Bladder
damage during a hysterectomy is not a
common problem, but it does occur.
Bladder leakage after a hysterectomy is
very common. It is due to the bladder
lacking the support from the uterus. It
gets better as your pelvis heals. Do
your keigle exercises. It will make all
the difference.

Bladder Worsening.

I had my partial hyst late last fall. My
dr, tried to do it vagially, but there was
adhersions to my intestines. So it was
taken abdomenally. I had some bladder
leakage before, but that was blamed on my
prolapsed uterus. I am only 27 and when
I cough or sneeze I leak. I am returning
to my gyn next week because I also spotted
last week and that scared me. I was
experiencing cramps and my breasts are
tender. I wonder what that is all about.
:?

After any gynae surgury the pelvic floor
muscles are weakened the best way to help
these is as with any muscle to exercise
them - kegal exercises.
I'll go and find you some.
Even ladies who haven't had any surgury
shoul do them as it helps prevent
incontinence in later years!

Bladder leakage after hysterectomy

I had a complete hysterectomy in 1983. At
the time the doctor told me that in the
future my bladder may have leakage. I am
53 years old and now if I cough I urinate
on myself, I also leak just walking. I
have had to start wearing incontinece
pads. Is there something that can be done
to help to correct this problem?
