Yes, anesthesia can cause bladder distention, particularly during surgeries that involve pelvic or abdominal regions. General anesthesia may impair the normal signals for bladder contraction, leading to urine retention. Additionally, the use of certain medications during anesthesia can affect bladder function. It's important for healthcare providers to monitor bladder status and address any distention postoperatively.

What types of anesthesia is used for bladder surgery?
For bladder surgery, general anesthesia is commonly used to ensure the patient is completely unconscious and pain-free during the procedure.

The choice of anesthesia often depends on the specific procedure, the patient's health, and the surgeon's preference.

Are you a wimp for having a cystoscopy under general anesthesia?
Not at all! For some people it can be very painful to have a cystoscopy without anesthesia because of certain bladder issues. Having a cystoscopy under anesthesia allows the doctor to take a better look at the bladder without the patient moving or being tense. It also allows the doctor to see how a person's bladder operates when they don't feel the pain or discomfort. So once again, no you are definitely not a wimp for having this procedure under anesthesia!
How can you force the bladder to work after anesthesia?
After anesthesia, stimulating bladder function can be achieved through several methods. Encouraging fluid intake can help, as increased hydration often stimulates urine production. Additionally, gentle bladder palpation or the use of medications such as cholinergics may promote bladder contraction. In some cases, catheterization may be necessary to relieve urinary retention until normal bladder function resumes.
