Study Overview
Brief Summary
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.

- •No bladder injury during surgery.
- •Ability and willingness to consent.
- •No known neurological or urinary conditions affecting voiding.

Arms & Interventions
Voiding position - Standing in the shower
After removal of urine catheterization, during first micturation, the patient will stand in the shower with the water on her vulvar area
Intervention: Voiding position - Standing in the shower (Behavioral)
Voiding position - Sitting on the toilet
After the removal of urine catheter for the first micturation - the patient will sit on the toilet
Intervention: Voiding position - Sitting on the toilet (Behavioral)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Post-void residual volume>150 CC
Time Frame: The following 7 days after surgery
after the first void following catheter removal
Secondary Outcomes
- Success rate of voiding trial(The following 7 days after surgery)
- Pain during micturition(The following 7 days after surgery)
- UTI(The following 7 days after surgery)
- Urinary retention(The following 7 days after surgery)
- Post-void residual volume(The following 7 days after surgery)
