bladder question
 

Hi my name is tammy..i am new to the site. I have question..i just got out of surgery 5 weeks ago. They went in to remove a cist and the doctor made a mistake by cutting my bladder.. Is it normal to hold 99cc.,s in the bladder after this long..i heard that isent to much at all but i am alittle concerned. I am going pee but it feels like its not all coming out..what are your thots.thanks

Hi Tammy,
Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups. :)

In your situation I would call my doctor. If you still feel the need to urinate after you have just urinated you could possibly have a urinary tract infection or it could be quite normal depending on your specific medical history.

Just wondering how you know there is 99cc of urine in your bladder? Do you have some type of pre-existing urinary tract dysfunction?

I remember asking my daughter's doctor years ago when she was ill about the amount that is retained in the bladder and all I recall is that it can vary a lot because of things like age, other medical conditions including stuctural difference etc.. I doubt that a small amount retained would result in any type of reflux at all, but again, it would vary from person to person.

I'd be calling my doctor even if it's for reassurance that this is quite typical considering the type of surgery you've just had 5 weeks ago.
