fissurectomy with LIS and skin tag removal 5 days post op and I have yet to completely empty my bladder :( I go a bit and then trickle (push) in spurts to get more out but know there's more that wont come out without serious pushing which I can't do cuz of my bumm. Started burning when I pee so I went to urgent care for a culture and got some antibiotics (Septra).
I just don't get it, this is my 4th anal surgery and I have never had this much trouble urinating. It's always slow after any surgery cuz of anesthesia but NEVER like this :( Could it be a temporary side effect from the LIS maybe?
I've tried going in the sitz bath and the shower (and the toilet ). Any other suggestions? I searched the site for this but nothing came up...
Thanks in advance!
