lots of bathroom trips?

Hi everyone..
I am 2 days post-op today-had LAVH (everything removed).....

I asked that my catheter be removed immediately after surgery and it was-I went to pee as soon as I was taken into my room and have done fine with going since the 1st time-but today I keep getting the "full bladder" sensation. I do go each time, but it just seems to me that Im getting this sensation more than usual.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, I had this too. I found that it wasn't really that I needed to go that badly, either, just my sensation was a little altered. It is getting better, but it's still not back to where I was before surgery. Just this last week I am sleeping through the night again instead of waking up at least twice to go pee.

YES! I'm 2.5 weeks post op and I still just tell everyone it feels like they took everything out and put my bladder back in first and set everything else on top of it!

Yep! Same here. Just before I was discharged from the hospital I did ask my doctor about that and she said it'd take a while to get things back to normal. I'm here 10 days post-op and still not quite normal.

I have noticed it's getting better but I still get up 2 or 3 times a night. I do wonder how long this will last.

Yes this happened to me too. I found myself going to the bathroom a lot. It turns out that my interstitial cystitis was flaring but it has calmed down. Check with your doctor about possible UTI. Very common after surgery. Hope you feel better soon.

I have been saying ever since my catheter came out that it seems like I'm peeing twice as much as I take in! It's crazy! I am waking up 2-3 times a night as well and it's really, really inconvenient as my bathroom upstairs is under construction so I have to go downstairs to pee.
I know it has to get better though!

I had lavh/bso on march 5th and I agree with more coming out than going in. But why does it wait until I'm in bed. I so hate getting up about 3 times a night.

today this problem seems to have abated a little-I still feel a little pressure in there though, but this is only during the day time and I have been fine at night-not even waking up to go pee

I've also noticed my bladder feels full all the time. I use to never get up at night to go to the bathroom and after surgery I was up 4-5 times a night. Now it's only 2 times a night.

I am so glad to see this post! I also demanded my cath be taken out early and I feel like I have to pee ALL the time, yet very little comes out. I asked my nurse about it and her answer really helped me. She said that after a hysterectomy (especially with endometriosis) you literally have to learn how to pee again because of the "shock" to the bladder. It has been only 5 days now and things are already a lot better. The hardest thing for me is just to remember not to push.
