Effect of Voiding Position (Standing in the Shower vs. Sitting) on Post-Void Residual Urine Volume (PVR) After Removal of Urinary Catheter in Women Following Benign Vaginal Gynecologic Surgery

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if voiding in a standing position in the shower, rather than sitting on a toilet, may reduce pain associated with the act of voiding, thereby facilitating micturition and decreasing both post-void residual volume and the risk of subsequent urinary retention in women that underwent benign vaginal surgeries.

Treatment and study plan

Voiding position - Standing in the shower

Behavioral

After the removal of urine catheter, for the first micturation the woman will stand in the shower with the water on her vulvar area

Voiding position - Sitting on the toilet

Behavioral

After the removal of urine catheter, for the first micturation the women will sit on the toiled

Primary outcomes

  1. Post-void residual volume>150 CC

    Time frame: The following 7 days after surgery

    after the first void following catheter removal

Secondary outcomes

  1. Success rate of voiding trial

    Time frame: The following 7 days after surgery

    no need for recatheterization

  2. Pain during micturition

    Time frame: The following 7 days after surgery

    Pain during micturition, using The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) 0-10. O means no pain, 10 means worst pain imaginable.

  3. UTI

    Time frame: The following 7 days after surgery

    in the 7 days following the surgery

  4. Urinary retention

    Time frame: The following 7 days after surgery

    REST>150 ml

  5. Post-void residual volume

    Time frame: The following 7 days after surgery

    in ml
