I had my RP in November, 2022. I had several of your symptoms for the first week. My medical team told me constipation is likely and to use an over the counter medicine if constipation continued for three days - I used "milk of magnesia" and it took care of constipation. The leakage around catheter/penis during bowel movements (especially when need to push), did occur for me - It was quite uncomfortable, but significantly improved after constipation addressed and obviously completely gone after you "break up with Cathy" (awesome joke my nurse told me during catheter removal). My doctor had me keep the catheter in for 7 days, do did not have a cystoscopy - Thinking this is done if they want to remove catheter in 3-4 days and red colored blood is a side effect post cystoscopy procedure (2nd hand info, no direct knowledge with having a cystoscopy)??

Sorry to hear you have leakage at urethra reconnection point.

Good luck and praying all goes well for you with your challenging recovery.
