Summary
This study will explore the application of placing heparin into the bladder via a catheter to
decrease postoperative lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and urinary tract infection (UTI)
symptoms such as urinary frequency, urinary urgency, pain with urination, or difficulty
voiding following hysterectomy (surgically removing the uterus). The investigators
hypothesize that heparin bladder instillations will reduce LUTS, UTI symptoms, and improve
patient satisfaction following hysterectomy.
