Pressure after peeing - after birth

[Lanzy]

Hi,

I have no uti symptoms, I had a natural birth but ended up with retained placenta which meant theatre and spinal/catheter.

Since whenever I pee there is no pain but at the end of the pee, I get this full pressure sensation in possibly the clit area especially when I stand up from peeing. It feels bruising sensation. It then goes right away. There is no other symptoms but in day to day life sometimes feel it once i stand up

has anyone else experienced
3 weeks since birth

No experience sorry but hopefully this will bump for you

I had something similar post birth (during which I had a catheter). No 'typical UTI symptoms such as burning or stinging, just a sense of intermittent pressure. Following a swab it transpired I had an ecoli infection which was sorted with some antibiotics.
May be worth a conversation with your midwife or GP incase it's something like this.

Definitely get checked out. I had some problems after an epidural and they did an ultrasound to ascertain the problem. Not sure it’s the same issue based on what you said but needs investigating.

Following as I have similar symptoms - had a c section recently so I'm guessing it's from the catheter. It doesn't feel like a UTI. But it feels different somehow to before.

did they find out what it was? Xx

Its so odd and they tested urine ans it came back fine :( xx

I'm currently 5 weeks pp and have the same symptoms- did you find out what was causing it and how long it lasted?
