You might consider asking your doctor about self-catherization. I did that for a few months before my HoLEP back in 2020 or 2021. For me it was pretty easy to do and I thought much better than wearing a bag. I even did it at a truck stop driving to Chicago, where my procedure was done by Dr. Amy Krambeck at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, from my home state about 8 hour away. But I did not have to do any kind of catherization right after my procedure and going forward. I was able to void before I left the hospital and had no more problems then or to this date. Thankfully! Dr. Krambeck did a great job and I highly recommend her.
