Wow! New to this post. I had RP June 21, 2023, went home the same day with a catheter attached, and had an appointment to have the catheter removed a week later. All went well could pee like a horse, then a couple of days later could not pee. Went to the hospital in excruciating pain as the bladder was full, finally got in and saw a on staff doctor. He prepped to insert new catheter, and I swear, when inserting the numbing agent he pushed that plunger with all the force he could, on top of the bladder pain for not being able to pee and the pain associated with filling the urethra with what was supposed to be gel to ease the pain of inserting a new catheter, it hurt like hell. Long and short of the new catheter was in smaller than the original, and two days later back to the hospital to have it removed as I could not pee and it was leaking between the catheter and the urethra. This time a lady doctor and her assistant removed the catheter, and inserted the correct size with no pain at all, I was impressed! I think was a week or week and a half later went to the Urologist and had it removed. Could pee like a horse now all was good. That was two weeks ago. Gradually the stream weakened and and it is almost like the pre-surgery was, but still able to start relatively quick. Now to the rest of the story. I have some pain/discomfort in the penis, like most people in this thread, burning at the urethra opening and feeling like someone stomped on the penis, feels bruised, but does not look bruised, and it is not inflamed or discolored nor swollen. I began to get worried but think it is all part of the normal healing that I need to go through, after reading this thread, with everything that has happened. I see my doctor next week for my PSA test results and hopefully it will be non-detectable. In my case 41% of the Prostrate was affected and the cancer started going up the neck of the bladder, but the surgeon said they got it all. Well that is my story, hope it helps someone else. Steve0.
