Hi ladies, I wondered if anyone had a UTI after a catheter as I’m in so much agony going for a wee 3 days later, if so did you take anything to help?
I also have not been able to go to the toilet properly now for 6 days and the pain of the trapped wind plus healing from internal wounds and scars is becoming too much! I have tried everything.
Any advice would be wonderful?

I have messaged you! X

I had a lot of pelvic pain when going for a wee for the first 2/3 days. Didn’t know I had a UTI until I was seen in triage at day 8 due to my wound leaking, didn’t get told about UTI until day 10 tho and got given antibiotics for it.
Peppermint tea is what helped me with wind. I ate lots of fruit and veg the first week when I got home as that’s what helped me go to the toilet

Have you tried a peri bottle?
