Bladder neck Incision Op - Post Operative questions

[Jon_C]

I'm a 38yo male, had to have a BNI op 3 weeks ago to cure a restricited bladder neck, had been prescribed flomax but this didnt alleviate the problem.

Since the Op, I've kept up a daily fluid intake of approx. 2 litres, but when I pee I experience a pain in the right hip areaand I dont seem to pee much, on average about 250mL, although first thing in the morning its about 600mL, before I could pee about 500 - 750mL, I'm waiting for a response from my urologist, but in the meanwhile has anyone else had a BNI or have information on how long it takes for the bladder to regain it's normal capacity.

Thanks Jon

Peeing 750mls is an awful lot for a bladder capacity to hold. I wouldnt worry about it too much as by the sounds of it your bladder is still trying to recover, if you are concerned you could try bladder retraining which you try and hold as much as you can before you really need to pee. I would gradually increase it each time as much as you can. For an eg the first day try and increase it to 300mls then the next 350mls and then again increase to 400mls the next day, if it doesnt work then go back and try again. THis should help with holding more urine. If this doesnt work after a while then I would go back to your GP or an urologist and get it checked out to understand why you cant pee as much as you use to. All the best and good luck.
