    Johns Hopkins Medicine answered:

    You might experience bladder spasms (a common occurrence after prostatectomy) as a moderate cramping sensation in the lower abdomen or bladder. These spasms are usually transient and often decrease over time. If severe, your doctor can prescribe medications to decrease the episodes of these spasms.
