Can a Tummy Tuck cause bladder and urinary issues?

September 15, 2014
Asked By:seestar in Phoenix, AZ

I had a tummy tuck and I am eight months postop. At six months postop I noticed mild UTI like symptoms that would come and go. In the past 30 days the symptoms have greatly increased and I have to go to the bathroom frequently and feel a regular pressure to urinate. I went to my gen. doc and tested negative for any kidney issues including a UTI. My doc said it was possible that tt could have damaged my urinary track but I'm skeptical. Could tt be affecting this even though I am 8 mo post op?
