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.
Adult women (≥18 years old).
Undergoing benign vaginal gynecologic surgery with indwelling catheter during surgery.
No bladder injury during surgery.
Ability and willingness to consent.
Bladder injury during surgery.
Neurological disease affecting bladder function.
Active urinary tract infection.
Inability to void either standing in shower or sitting (depending on randomization).
Parallel
Voiding position - Standing in the shower
BehavioralAfter the removal of urine catheter, for the first micturation the woman will stand in the shower with the water on her vulvar area
Voiding position - Sitting on the toilet
BehavioralAfter the removal of urine catheter, for the first micturation the women will sit on the toiled
