If she doesn't have any spine related issues, this urinary issues usually settles, but it would take a longer time. These medications what has been given may or may not work. It's better to learn clean intermittent self catheterization, so that she can be off the urinary catheter and can take care of herself. Slowly the residual urine would settle. This is generally due to neuropraxia of the pelvis plexus following pregnancy. Recovery always happens, but would take time
