Hi Karen
Quote from: Karen_A on January 27, 2024, 10:53:16 PMUmm more so than other women sometimes...
I would not know, this is something that has not come up in conversation with other women. I will keep this in my mind and try and bring this up in a round about way, along the lines of "I had to have a urine test and say it's a pain doing so" and see if that illicts a response.

After my surgery, I too was spraying all over the place, I did not think much about it at the time. I heard and I don't know how, but the suggestion was one had to position oneself on the toilet seat until you were not spraying all over the place.
Anyway I tried various positions and I eventually had my legs slightly apart and leaned forward and low and behold my problem was solved. To what extent this was reliant on my post surgery or vice versa, I do not know, or in other words the healing process had pretty been completed and I was able to pee normally.
I suppose that's frustrating that one cannot meet your original surgeon. Find a specialist that deals with women's anatomy downstairs?

Seriously I would be talking to a specialist that deals with these types of problems. I'm sure there are women that end up with similar problems downstairs and they have surgery to correct it.
In my case, what I should do is get a few containers and practice doing it, in other words locate the uretha opening and then place the container over it. The amount of times that I have had to do this medical test is not many, so in affect I never learned to do it properly.

That's funny, but in all seriousness, one could use a pad or liner, so that in the meantime you have control of the situation.
Take care and look after yourself, especially downstairs.
Best wishes and hugs
