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
Voiding position - Standing in the showerVoiding position - Sitting on the toilet
Voiding position - Standing in the shower: 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: After the removal of urine catheter, for the first micturation the women will sit on the toiled
Study summary
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.
