Question 1

i have urinary retention after bladder sling surgery. doctor tried to surgically fix it but still can not void. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Second opinion: Releasing the sling is a simple procedure and should have worked.
It often results in leakage again but not always.
The only time i've seen this in a patient w/o a preexisting problem
that did not reapond to release was when the patient was very anxious.  This will require further evaluation by a doc who has more experience with slings than it sounds like yours might
after releasing i'd stretch it.

Question 2

could i have urinary retention or a shy bladder?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: Yes, it may develop in few without obvious disorders of nerve system, but simply from inadequate relaxation and opening of urinary sphincter to coordinate the sequential contraction of bladder muscle (detrusor) so to maintain normal pressure inside bladder during peeing. This condition could be suspected by detailing voiding Hx as well as testing and following residual urine, etc. under medical Rx

Question 6

what  are the  odds of  urinary  retention taking  bicalutimide  right  after green light surgery?

Accepted Answer

Low.: Bicalutimide, or casodex, (bicalutamide) should have minimal effect on your chance of urinary retention. Retention is much more likely to be influenced by the degree of urinary obstruction preoperatively, and the degree of inflammation, swelling, bleeding, and scaring after greenlight photovaporization (pvp) of the prostate. Hopefully, the procedure with help prevent this from happening.

Question 7

how can i tell if i'm experiencing urinary retention from zyrtec (cetirizine)? mild back .& bladder pain

Zyrtec (cetirizine): Zyrtec (cetirizine) can cause urinary retention.Stop tsking it for a few days and your back and bladder pain will disappear.

Question 8

what can cause urinary retention in the a.m?very difficult to urinate even w/ a full bladder, and takes several minutes 2 evacuate, no other symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Bladder outlet issue: It is not unusual to have issues emptying your bladder when it is most full, due to overstretching. Recommend discussing this with your physician as an enlarged prostate can also play a role. There are several options to help alleviate the problem once diagnosed, depending on the factors causing it.
