Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My wife is suffering from urinary incontinence at the time of sleeping. She gave birth to two babies through operation, and now they are aged 9 and 5. After which she got her uterus removed through operation. Please help us.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read and understood your problem.

Urinary incontinence is a common complication after surgical removal of uterus. You should do her urine culture and sensitivity test, also blood sugar PP (postprandial). If the problem is only at night then she should stop taking water one hour before going to sleep and pass urine. If she has to get up many times during sleep then she may need mild tranquilizers.
