Effect of Voiding Position (Standing in the Shower vs. Sitting) on Post-Void Residual Urine Volume (PVR) After Removal of Urinary Catheter in Women Following Benign Vaginal Gynecologic Surgery

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Post-void Residual Volume, Recatheterization, Pain, UTI, Urinary Retention

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if voiding in a standing position in the shower, rather than sitting on a toilet, may reduce pain associated with the act of voiding, thereby facilitating micturition and decreasing both post-void residual volume and the risk of subsequent urinary retention in women that underwent benign vaginal surgeries.
