Trial removal of catheter

There’s something wrong with what you have read. Because the prostate has been removed they have to reconnect the urethra since the prostate has been removed, it’s two separate pieces that have to be reconnected between the bladder and the penis. That doesn’t heal overnight. It takes a couple of weeks to heal properly.

I can assure you that no one here, that has had their prostate removed, has had that catheter taken out the next day. It doesn’t heal that quick.

Oh, that was in relation to another procedure, I think.
I'd never heard of green laser surgery, so I looked it up & ended up at

which I think is just removing some of the prostate.

But would the bit about bicarbonate still apply in my case, in relation to reducing urination discomfort post-catheter?
