What Causes Urge For Frequent Urination Post Total Hysterectomy?

I ve known I have a pituitary tumor for 8 years now. So my question is since 8 weeks ago I had a total hysterectomy at 7 weeks I feel exhausted, urinating several more times at night and most times in the day it feels as if I need to urinate but most only a little comes out. I can t stand clothes touching my skin after so many hours and they are extremely loose fitting. I suppose to go back to work but honestly it bothers me to wear clothes and this going to the bathroom so much is terrible.

Hello,

Total hysterectomy complications are bleeding, ureter damage,bladder or bowel damage, infection... Your frequency urination mean you having an urge to pass urine more often than usual. It can disrupt one's normal routine, interrupt the sleep cycle, and it can be a sign of an underlying medical condition. Most people urinate 6 to 7 times in 24 hours. Urinating more ioften than this may be referred to as frequency, but everyone is different. The possible cause of urinary frequency are urinary tract infection, anxiety, inflammation, use medicine such as diuretics, kidney stone urethral stricture.. If you have any other associated symptom such as pain or discomfort while urinating or urine that is bloody, cloudy or of an unusual color, gradual loss of bladder control, or urinary incontinence, difficulty urination urge, discharge from the vagina, fever or chill, nausea or vomiting, low back pain or side pain. Your doctor will carry out a thorough history and physical examination, asking you about frequency of urination and other symptoms. Test may include such as urinary analysis to identify any abnormality in the uterine, ultrasound for the kidneys, neurological tests to detect any nerve disorder, testing for STIs. The treatment will depend on the underlying cause. If the consultation leads to a diagnosis of infection, the typical course of treatment is antibiotic. If the cause is an overactive bladder, a medication known as an anticholinergic may be used. These prevent abnormal involuntary detrusor muscle contractions from occurring in the wall of the bladder. If the consultation lead to diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, treatment will am to keep high blood sugar levels under control. If needed, medication therapy will be prescribed and monitored by your doctor. Some case of disease training in behavioral techniques may be help.

Eating a balanced diet and maintaining an active lifestyle can help moderate the output of urine. Eating high fiber foods can also help reduce constipation. This may indirectly improve urine flow through the urethra, as a constipated rectum can put pressure on the urinary bladder, the urethra, or both. Drink plenty of water to avoid UTI.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
