INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
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.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria6
- Adult women (≥18 years old).
- Undergoing benign vaginal gynecologic surgery with indwelling catheter during surgery.
- No bladder injury during surgery.
- Ability and willingness to consent.
- No known neurological or urinary conditions affecting voiding.
- No active urinary tract infection at time of catheter removal.
Exclusion Criteria4
- Bladder injury during surgery.
- Neurological disease affecting bladder function.
- Active urinary tract infection.
- Inability to void either standing in shower or sitting (depending on randomization).
