HELP! I cant pee!

[Emmster321 0]

Hey everyone. I am posting from my hospital bed. Surgery was yesterday. Right after surgery I was unable to pass urine so I had a foley catheter put in for the night and taken out this morning. Right after they took it out I was able to pee. Since then theyve discontinued my IV fluids and have been doing bladderscans and I have no urine in my bladder! I've been drinking an ounce of liquid(Water and ice chips) very 15 mins but nothing! I can't be discharged until I am able to go. Did anyone else have this problem post surgery ? I am assuming it's because my liquid intake has been cut pretty significantly and my body is probably hanging on to every last bit of it. The medical staff doesn't seemed to be too concerned but I am.

Aside from this issue everything else has been smooth sailing i appreciate any feed back or advice anyone may have.

Thanks in advance!

Keep drinking. Either your kidneys will start working or they'll put another IV back in. Glad you're still in the hospital so this can be taken care of easily.
