Did anyone else need to empty their bladder more frequently after laparoscopy?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Philadelphia, PA

I had excision surgery about two weeks ago and was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis as well as endo, but no endo was found on my bladder. Now I'm having to urinate more frequently than before the surgery and I'm a little worried. Should I be? Or is this something that is normal with surgery and will probably resolve?

Yes!!! I was diagnosed with IC after my laparoscopy and ever since I've been desperate for a wee SO much! Unfortunately I think my endometriosis was covering up a lot of my symptoms but I've never had an overactive bladder like this in my life!
