Trouble peeing after surgery. Is there anything I can do to help this?

April 9, 2016
Asked By:Brand38 in Scottsdale, AZ

I am 3 days post op from a tummy tuck with muscle repair. The biggest problem is I feel like o have to pee constantly and then I get drips of pee when I try to pee. The sensation never goes away, and so I'm getting up to go to the bathroom every 20-40 minutes. Is there anything I can do to help this? It's very painful getting up and even worse never feeling full relief after peeing.
