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: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 100 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Assuta Ashdod Hospital · Academic / Other
• Sex: Female
• Age: 18 Years – 99 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

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.

Conditions

• Post-void Residual Volume
• Recatheterization
• Pain
• UTI
• Urinary Retention

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	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
