Hi

my wife had a forecep delivery one month back, immediately after delivery she had urine retention and was unable to void completely, thereafter she was catheterised and doctors said that this will take a while for her bladder to start functioning normally. My question is will her bladder will start functioning completely as before or is it a cause of concern. Trial was done removing a cathater 2 week back , she was able to pass the urine but not completely and she was againg cathaterised due to urine retention and doctor advised her for cathaterisation for 15 more days. She is now having urotone 25 mg 3 times a day. I just want to now whether she will come to normal condition or not. And why has this happened at all? What are the reasons for urine retention ? She had urine infection on and off during her pregnancy and just after deliver she had (entrobector) infection. Please let me know as I am really worried.
