Dh and I dtd about 8/9 hours ago. I haven't been able to pass urine since. I feel full and need to go but can't, currently in the Bath to see if that helps but I can't seem to relax enough to let myself go. I did nhs 111 and it says see gp . I can't imagine going till potentially Tuesday though, how long would you give it until you went to urgent care (no out of hours dept near me)

I hope you have gone to A&E, this most definitely is an emergency.
good luck

This is going to sound weird but try squatting over a bowl/jug and pulling on your public hair. Was recommended to me by a physio after having a caesarian and I had problems weeing and this sorted it out straight away.

Had a catheter thing to empty my bladder (not one that stays in, didn't even know these were a thing! Feel so so much better, got to stay for a little bit (not admitted, just in the assessment area) to make sure I'm ok (and hopefully wee)

Was that back in the 60's when such a thing as pubic hair existed:)

Nope. Surely only porn stars have no public hair, even these days?! 😮

Glad you've finally managed to go OP, you must feel so much better.

Hope you get sorted quickly.

Good news!

Munchyseeds2 · 29/04/2023 11:58

Poor you!
Did they say why it might have happened?

Not totally, just said it could have been some kind of inflammation/trauma from sex (it was normal sex!) but just to keep an eye if it happens again

That's good news you got sorted, hopefully just a weird one off that won't happen again.
