Difficulty passing urine after delivery can happen due to swelling, weak bladder muscles, or nerve effects from childbirth. It is usually temporary and may improve within a few days to weeks. If it continues or is painful, consult your doctor.

After having a narrowed urethra stretched, it is very common to experience temporary swelling, inflammation, or muscle spasms in the area, which can make peeing feel difficult even if your bladder is nearly empty. Your medications, Urotone (bethanechol) and Urimax (tamsulosin), are helping your bladder contract and relax the surrounding muscles to support healing. This recovery takes time. If this continues, other options like a minor procedure to gently widen the passage again or specialized physical therapy can be discussed with your urologist.

I hear your concern, and it is incredibly tough to see your father struggle with vomiting from his treatments. Because of his kidney disease (creatinine 2.4) and high blood pressure, his kidneys are very vulnerable right now. I strongly advise against relying on homeopathy, as it is not scientifically proven to safely treat significant urinary retention (226 ml) or protect his kidneys. Stopping Urotone and Urimax without a replacement puts him at risk for further kidney damage. Please contact his specialist right away to find tolerated, conventional alternatives to help his bladder empty safely and manage his blood pressure.

Since antibiotics didn't help, your symptoms may be due to muscle tension or coordination issues rather than an infection. Alfuzosin works by relaxing the muscles in your prostate and bladder neck, which improves urine flow and relieves the constant urge. Urotone (bethanechol) works differently by stimulating your bladder muscle to contract, helping your bladder empty more completely. Together, these medications help coordinate and ease urination. Please consult your doctor or a urologist to ensure this treatment plan is safely and effectively addressing your symptoms.

During pregnancy, urine retention can be managed by sitting to urinate frequently, avoiding prolonged holding of urine, performing pelvic floor exercises, and staying hydrated. If the problem persists, causes pain, or leads to infection, consult your doctor without delay.

I understand how frustrating and exhausting it must be to deal with these ongoing symptoms, especially when medications like Soliten, Contiflo, and Urotone haven't brought relief. In young men, this combination of urinary symptoms and chronic pelvic, genital, or lower back pain is often associated with Chronic Prostatitis or Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS). This condition involves inflammation or muscle spasms in the pelvis rather than a simple infection, which is why standard bladder or prostate medications might not fully work. Please don't lose hope. I highly recommend discussing CP/CPPS with a urologist, who can explore targeted therapies like pelvic floor physical therapy to help you find relief.
