C-sections

Loss of bladder function...

OK. I am 4w PP...and today, I was just sitting here, and I noticed my pants were damp. I was afraid my bleeding may have returned, but it turns out it was urine....Can a Csection cause this, or is this because of the pregnancy

Re: Loss of bladder function...

  • I had bladder control issues after 1st C/S. Dr put me on meds for over active bladder for a couple of months. She said it is a common occurrence to have these type of problems even after a vaginal delivery but it us seen more often with C/Ss because of the trauma caused during surgery.
  • post surgery my nurse told me to go to the bathroom no longer than every 3 hours regardless of if I feel the urge to go.  Apparently the catheter they use during during the surgery can cause this loss of sensation.  I am 8 days post surgery and I still don't feel like the sensation is exactly like it was pre-surgery but it has been improving every day.
