Water retention after kidney surgery can be really uncomfortable, and this is definitely something to discuss with your medical team right away. They can properly evaluate your specific situation and determine the safest approach for managing post-surgical swelling, as the frequency and type of diuretics can vary greatly depending on your kidney function and overall recovery progress.
