Hello,

I'm a post-op transwoman who underwent SRS a year and a half ago and experienced urinary complications after surgery. Has anyone else experienced urinary issues after their surgery?

Some of the symptoms I am encountering are:

1. Hesitancy – a longer than usual wait for the stream of urine to begin,
2. Straining to urinate
3. Dribbling after urination has finished
4. Chronic urinary retention – not all the urine is passed from the bladder causing a need to urinate more often.
5. Frequency – a short time between needing to urinate,
6. Nocturia – a need to pass urine two or more times during the night.

I've gone and seen a urologist specialist and have gotten tested for possibly a UTI or stricture and the test came out clear. I'm just wondering if anyone else has similar symptoms and how did they manage to resolve this problem.
