What is the reason for incomplete urination after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

I had a cesarean section surgery at the hospital and went home to rest after giving birth to the baby. However, in recent days, I've been experiencing a feeling of incomplete urination, with urine coming out in small amounts and sometimes feeling the need to urinate frequently. I don't know if it's caused by many gynecological diseases. What is the reason for incomplete urination after a cesarean section?

Doctor's answer:

Your symptoms are a urinary tract infection, which cannot be classified as a gynecological disease because men can also contract this inflammation. Urinary tract infections are related to your low water intake and the proliferation of bacteria in the urethra. Therefore, it is essential to drink more water and metabolize more to improve the condition. At the same time, appropriate antibiotic treatment should be adopted. For breastfeeding infants, amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium or cephalosporin antibiotics can be considered. For severe cases of cesarean section, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid switching to new medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect. The above advice is for reference only.
