I experienced urinary retention after removing the catheter the day follow HoLAP. The procedure, necessitated by ongoing BPH symptoms, went smoothly, and I was back home that same day. After enduring 8 hours of retention, a catheter was reinserted with cathetrization to be continued for another 6 to 7 days. There was no indication of infection, although I don't know if a urine culture was even taken. But, I am taking Cipro 500MG twice daily. The urologist did comment that my retention was somewhat rare. Ofcourse, I'm apprehensive about retention reoccurrence when the catheter is removed again. I did also experience retention after a cystoscopy a few weeks prior to the HoLAP that ultimately required a visit to ER and a catheter. I'm thinking that maybe I tend to be more reactive to any type of bladder and urinary tract trauma experience than normal. Is there anyone with any similar experience ? - or, any advice on my situation, or even a conclusion to such an experience ?
