SORESitz Baths for Postoperative Pain After Urogynecologic Surgery

This study focuses on helping women who have undergone surgery to repair pelvic organ prolapse, a condition where organs like the bladder or uterus slip out of place. The goal is to see if taking sitz baths, a type of warm, shallow bath that cleanses the perineum, can reduce pain better than the usual care a week after their surgery. This is important because finding effective ways to manage pain after such surgeries could improve recovery experiences and reduce reliance on pain medications like opioids. Participants in the study will either follow a regimen of sitz baths or continue with their usual care after surgery. The study will measure how much pain they feel one week post-operation. It will also look at how satisfied they are with their pain management, how much opioid medication they think they need, and how well their surgical incisions are healing. The study will also keep track of their use of healthcare services and how well they stick to the postoperative care plan. Understanding these factors can help improve recovery processes and enhance patient care after pelvic organ prolapse surgery.
