Has Complete Hysterectomy And Salpingo-oopherectomy. Noticed Small Amounts Of Urine. And Sometimes Sheer Dark Brown Colour. Guide?
Question: II am a 61y woman. About thirty years, I has a complete hysterectomy and salpingo-oopherectomy. Since then, on an irregular basis, I notice scant amounts of urine (clear) and at times, a sheer dark brown colour...not enough to saturate the "light" comfort pads I now wear. At one time, there was a dark, reddish-brown showing, but since I have begun taking high culture count probiotics, It is only a vague, or clear moistness on the pad. My Primary MD said he could surgically repair it, but I don't do unnecessary procedures. The pads, while uncomfortable, work fine. Is there a name for this condition? No female organs to press down on bladder, so ?
