Urinary retention weeks after c section?

Hi all,

I recently had my baby via planned c section almost 8 weeks ago. In more recent weeks, I have noticed I never feel like I have fully emptied my bladder after going to the toilet and always feeling the need to go to the loo to pee. It seems to get worse in the evening and at night. I sometimes have little discomfort when peeing.

I have had UTI's before and this feels different and possibly urinary retention from what I've googled. Has anyone experienced this post c section? If so, what treatment did you have etc?

I am at the GP in a few days for mine and babies 8 week check so will obviously mention it then too!

TIA! X

Hi @Patpop I know this is an old post but I'm having the same symptoms and feeling quite anxious about it.

How did this end up going for you?x
