Bladder problem

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone else that has had a hysterectomy had bladder pain? I think thats what it is anyway?... When I pee or have a BM, I get an intense pressure pain. I havent been checked for a UTI yet, just wondering if this pain/pressure that I feel is normal and if anyone else has had it and how long it lasted. Thanks!
The surgery was 2 weeks ago and was done abdominally

It could be that it is a result of the bladder being jostled during surgery. It may even be having spasms as a result. However, UTIs after hysterectomy are not uncommon either. You should call your doc and get checked for a UTI and let him/her know what is going on. Either way, they may be able to give you something to help you feel better. In the meantime, keep drinking plenty of fluids.

Thanks for this. I will definitely get to the doctors.

I am 1 day ahead of you with my TAH and I have the same complaint. It doesn't really hurt, though, it's just pressure and feels weird when I urinate. I have a 2 week check up on Tuesday and I plan to ask my GYN about it then.

I am 4 weeks out and I am still taking antibiotics. It started out as an uti and then discovered bacteria and yeast in the urine. I will finish day 28 with antibiotics today. Please consult your Dr. I think it's a common thing after surgery possibly from the catheter. Good luck and it slowly goes better

And yes the bladder pressure has been going on for almost the entire 4 weeks.sorry but please tell your Dr.

It sounds like bladder spasms.

I experienced this for about 10 weeks post op

The pain was quite intense at times but eventually it settled on its own.
I was told to pass urine every 4-6 hours.

It can be triggered by having your bladder handled during surgery and as a result of being catheterised. I guess some of us are just more sensitive

Try not to worry - take pain killers and I found a hot water bottle helped soothe the discomfort.
Hope you feel better soon x

This continued with me for several weeks and it was miserable. Estrace cream really helped me, and time, but i had my ovaries out. It could be jostling from surgery and or catheter too.

I had this also. I still have it occasionally but I think it is from just what the other ladies are saying.. bladder being handled during surgery and cathed.
Gosh I hated the feeling of them taking that cath out! I will never forget that.
But my bladder is just now calming down and I dont feel much when Im "going" now. I was having spasms and some pain and had a feeling that I couldnt empty all the way but I had to stay calm and let it work.
Just relax! I also take probiotics and was taking cranberry pills right after surgery also to prevent a UTI and to clean out my kidneys and "the works".
