Overview

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.
