:-) I have difficulty urininating since kidney ttansplant. I had 450mls left in bladder but when I got vhome I expelled 559mls, they want to catherize me and teach me to do it at home, I drink about 2000mls a day and expell about 1800mls, I am worried about infection from a catheter and don,t you think they should recheck with another sonagram before useing a catheter. I take 0.4mg of flomax for this issue too. Please any advise would be so helpful I am getting really tense about this issue. Thanks.
Hi,
having a kidney transplant is really not easy and recovery from it is very hard. You have to know that this is delicate procedure where you body needs to get used to new organ. You have to know that some of the liquid that you drink stays in your body, you don’t get the whole amount out as much as you take in. So I wouldn’t worry too much about this. If you are taking your medication regularly and if you are following doctor’s instruction to the point you should be fully recovered after some period of time. My suggestion would be to talk to your doctor about this and ask if there is anything that you can do to avoid complications.
