Hi,

It is common to experience difficulty urinating or reduced urine output after surgery. However, if you are experiencing an urgent and frequent need to urinate, it may be a sign of a urinary tract infection or bladder irritation.

It would be best for you to contact your surgeon or a medical professional for guidance on how to move forward. They may recommend that you take a urine sample for testing and may prescribe antibiotics if necessary. In the meantime, try drinking more water to help flush out your system and make urination easier.

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

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
