Day 3 after radical prostatectomy: Urge to urinate this soon normal?

Posted by davidbrandi01 @davidbrandi01, Jan 2 5:56pm

Should I get the urge to urinate this soon. Still attached to fokey catheter.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

It gets better slowly. “Patience is a virtue” doing kegles is important.
Actually had the urge to pee at 6:30 this morning and went to toilet. That’s a first!

@davidbrandi01, how is recovery going?

Yes, totally normal. The spasms are the worst part about the catheter. I found that just letting them go and not fighting them helped a lot.

They make wonderful meds for bladder spasms. Ask your doc for some.

The catheter causes bladder spams. That's the wonderful sensation you're experiencing

You’ll feel that urge even with a catheter in place. Totally normal!
