Recovery expectations 6 weeks after HoLEP prostate surgery.

So have the same feeling that maybe there is a scab or a clot that stops the urine flow too soon. Feels like I haven’t peed in a month and then the pain goes away. This week feels like they keep putting a catheter in and out. Pain clear to the tip. But I don’t think that my bladder is emptying all the way because of it. On antibiotics now for UTI. 4 weeks since my surgery. Still feels like I have to pee even after going. Going every hr. If I fall asleep for a few hrs then I almost can’t make it to the bathroom. Don’t know if it is the prostate or the urethra that seems to be the issue. Just would like to start a normal bathroom visit. Won’t see the urologist until March. Soldier on is the recommendation of my Doc that I normally see.

I still have the catheter in place since 9 Jan, but 2 days ago I started leaking around the head of my penis and the obstruction that was sticking out 1/4 inch beyond the tip of my penis disappeared. I feel as though the obstruction dissolved. My urine is now clear. No more cloudiness. My doctor is back in town and I have an appointment to see him Monday to remove the catheter and to see if I am voiding. Before this clog happened I was going to pee every 2 hours and I felt as though I was completely emptying my bladder. Never experienced the pain but just a burning sensation when I passed the scabs. I knew something was wrong when I felt that obstruction move down my urethra and plug me up on 9 Jan. There was no doubt about that feeling and then not being able to push it through. Not sure what it was, but like I said previously, I do believe it has dissolved. I will update Monday with results of my Void test and see if I can flow freely once again.
