I didn't know until after the surgery that they inserted a catheter. could be because my surgery also included a HH procedure and they thought it would take to long without one.

anyway, i've had problems since then.

feel the urge to go but having problems going. it's been 2 weeks and i'm still having issues. i've been to my urologist and he's helping with the problem.

did anyone else have a problem like this?

Do you have a hospital aquired UTI...Thats what it sounds like or a swollen urethra...

I don't think I had a catheter, but for the first few days after the surgery, I had to force myself to pee. Normally, when I use the restroom, once I sit down, the urine comes out without any prodding, but after I had the surgery, I had to push. After about 5 days, I no longer had that issue. I kind of figured it was due to the anesthesia as well as decreased fluid intake.

my urologist put my on an antibotic for an infection. probably some swelling too.

each day is a little better but i'm still far from normal.......hey i'm talking about my problem not my mental state.hahahaha
