bladder c section

I’m 6 months pp after an emergency c sec and I struggle to fully empty my bladder, I always have the urge to go and it’s so annoying at night time. Anyone had this ? I thought bladder issues only occurred with vaginal birth.

Sounds very much like bladder/urine or kidney infection, go get a urine test done at doctors & get some antibiotics if it is

I had a similar problem and was checked for an infection, but didn’t have one. I’m now on medication for an irritable bladder.

Yes prescribed by GP and it has helped. I’ve gone from being up 4 times a night to once a night.
