Since I came home from hospital Friday after my total hysterectomy, my sleep has been pretty much destroyed with waking up every single hour to go to the toilet for a wee. Did anybody else encounter this? I’m also making sure I barely drink anything after 6 pm because of this and only a sip of water at 9 pm to take with a tablet so I don’t understand why I’m peeing every hour through the night. I would love to have a full night sleep
Definitely call the hospital or your doctor as it might be that your bladder is just irritated, or you could have a urine infection.
Hi EndoCanc
This is something to mention to them when you call. It is sometimes possible to get a urine infection after surgery, from the catheter or it could be just some irritation but having to go all through the night is not normal so needs checking.
