9 Weeks post prostate removed

I am really puzzled by what you are saying

“ Its been 9 weeks since my prostate was removed and three weeks after catheter was removed”

Based on this sentence, it sounds like you’ve had the catheter in for six weeks. I know I had it in for two weeks 12 years ago, but the vast majority of people in the last few years have had it removed in 7 to 10 days.

Was there something off with the calculation? It doesn’t make sense that you would have it in that long, Unless there was some sort of problem that they needed it in for much longer than usual.

In my case, I had no pain or other issues at all, after having the catheter removed. I know a lot of other people that have had issues like you have had however.

Glad to hear your problem with recovery has finally relieved itself. Back to normal!

@jeffmarc I can see the confusion. Im on my 9th week post surgery, and the catheter was in for 8 days. When they took catheter out, he wanted to see me 3 weeks later. A few days before i saw him after the 3 weeks, thats when i started to have burning issues. I can say the day i got catheter out leading up to my next visit, no pain at all, but started like 2 days before i saw him..
