Treatment of postoperative dysuria

Difficulty urinating after surgery is a problem that many people encounter. Due to various reasons, many patients will experience difficulty urinating after surgery. Therefore, some patients who experience difficulty urinating after surgery want to fully understand the treatment methods for postoperative difficulty urinating in order to be able to urinate as soon as possible. The following is a detailed introduction so that you can have a comprehensive understanding.

The first situation is that difficulty in urination occurs 4-6 hours or longer after surgery. This is probably due to the anesthesia. Because during hemorrhoid surgery, anesthesia is required to prevent pain in the surgical area and surrounding tissues.

The bladder and urethra are neighbors of the anus, and the nerves that control them are also affected by anesthetics. Therefore, when the anesthesia effect has not yet worn off, temporary difficulty in urination may occur. As the anesthetic wears off, urination function will gradually return to normal.

The second situation: it is caused by non-anesthetic reasons. Mainly, the muscles around the anus (sphincter) are stimulated by the surgery, and the pain and stimulation of defecation will cause the nerves of these sphincters to connect with the nerves that control the bladder and urethral sphincter. Therefore, when the anal sphincter spasms and contracts, the sphincters of the urethra and bladder also spasm and contract, which may result in difficulty urinating.

Diagnosis and treatment

If you find yourself having difficulty urinating, you should seek medical help immediately and never leave it alone. Doctors have many ways to treat this disease, such as acupressure, acupuncture and massage. If conservative treatment is ineffective, an indwelling urinary catheter may be considered.

But generally speaking, drinking more water at home and using simple auxiliary methods can help relieve urinary retention. We introduce several methods to you.
