Re: Post surgery night time urination

Hello Sandy,

Your urologist is correct -- it is very common for bladder spasms to occur during the first one or two months after surgery, as the bladder adjusts to its lowered position in the body and the changes to the secondary sphincter cause by the removal of the prostate.

Every case is different, but it is very likely that the worst is behind you, and that things will improve with time. You should certainly keep your urologist informed of any additional symptoms or concerns that you have.

Best Regards,
Mark

Re: Post surgery night time urination

Thanks for the info. I never really considered bladder spasms as a possible cause, as I just have a full bladder and get up and pee like a racehorse 4 or 5 times during the night. I must lose about 4 litres a night !! I hope you're right and it gets better soon....

thanks again


cheers
