Hi I did some research over the weekend and they say bladder issues are more common than we know after colon surgery. About 2 weeks after surgery, I felt like I was getting a UTI.... frequency, fullness, some burning at end of urinating in the morning.. just an on off uncomfortable feeling. I plan on talking to surgeon about it. My other unusual symptom is constant feeling of pressure in my rectum. It’s uncomfortable! Will I ever get my body back???? Stinks😢

Hi @lorijbq

How great that you did some research! Yes, I think that a phone call with your surgeon or one of his nurses might be helpful as you have discovered from research that bladder issues can be a result of colon surgery.

I would be interested in hearing if your phone call provides you with more information. After you talk with your doctor's office can you post an update?
