What causes incontinence after a hysterectomy and how is it treated?

Patient's question:

Diagnosed with an endometrial tumor four months ago, underwent removal of uterine appendages one month ago, and since the surgery has experienced urinary incontinence. The patient is 50 years old and still uses diapers.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is not easy to treat! The best treatment plan depends on a careful analysis of each patient's condition and adopting different treatment measures based on the specific characteristics of the condition. Most incontinence patients can be cured or experience significant improvement.
Treatment usually only requires simple behavioral changes for the patient. Many patients regain bladder control through behavioral adjustment techniques, such as regular urination every 2–3 hours and maintaining relative bladder emptiness. Avoiding bladder irritants, such as caffeine-containing beverages and excessive fluid intake to prevent concentrated urine from stimulating the bladder, is also helpful. These methods contribute to the treatment.
