home remedy for urinary retention - #19016
I am really concerned about this issue with urinary retention, like it’s been a week now since I felt this weird pressure and really uncomfortable feeling like I need to go, but I can’t!! I read somewhere that there are some natural stuff that people use as a home remedy for urinary retention, but honestly, I don’t know where to start. My doctor told me to drink more water and stuff, but that doesn’t seem to work for me. I feel bloated and it's, ugh, just really frustrating. I even tried some cranberry juice thinking that might help, but nope!! And I found online that some people mentioned warm baths or, like, squatting might ease the pressure, but I don’t know if that's a real thing or just, you know, internet chatter? I also heard about some teas or herbs being good as a home remedy for urinary retention, but I’m not sure what’s safe or effective. Like, should I be looking for dandelion or nettle or something? This whole situation is making me anxious, cause what if it gets worse? Would love any advice from those who might have experience with home remedies for urinary retention. Help!!
