A member asked:
I had a tonsillectomy 2 weeks ago and since the surgery my urine flow has weakened, is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If you are using pain medications for post-operative pain, these can slow your bladder's ability to empty properly. This is completely reversible after stopping the medication. Antihistamines can cause the same symptoms.
