Is oxybutin and myerbetric safe for over active bladder?

You need to follow up with your doctor immediately! There should not be this debilitating pain after surgery, so it needs to be addressed.

The pain may have nothing to do with urinary incontinence or retention at all, but something all together different happening or a complication of the recent surgery. Please get back in to see the Dr ASAP! Good Luck, and I hope they find out what is bothering him/you are feeling better real soon!

That surgery was four months ago, and the pain your husband is experiencing must be properly addressed. Go back to his urologist and demand a thorough investigation. If you've lost confidence in the urologist, go to your PCP and ask for a referral for a second opinion.

Do not attempt to deal with this situation yourself, you need qualified people on it.

That’s what they are prescribed for. Any medication has potential for side effects. Yes those meds can be effective in assisting women with overactive bladders.

I am not familiar with these specific drugs, but as a nurse the one problem we saw with the medications designed to prevent urgency, frequency, incontinence, and etc. was urine retention. Now most people will know when they aren't emptying the bladder, because of the discomfort. But often enough seniors lose some of the nerve sensations that warn them that the bladder is filling. So you will need to be on the lookout for this. Ask the doctor or nurse in office to show you what an empty bladder feels like, above the pubis it should be soft and flat. A full bladder will distend a bit (sometimes) and be hard. There is danger with bladders not emptying of further loss of enervation. Look at the side effects of all drugs on google, and be on the lookout always, but especially initially.
