Hi,
How are you? It could be over sensitivity to the material of the catheter, due to which you are experiencing recurrent urinary retention symptoms after catheterization. Is resection of prostrate successful at the neck of bladder? As, this is a common issue with retention. Use of alpha blockers can help in this situation.
Also, if it is just over sensitivity, then practicing intermittent catheterization with a rubber catheter could help return to normal.

I removed the catheter today after 5 days of continuous catheterization. After some difficulty, I was able to overcome the initial post operative total urinary retension condition with partial voiding of the bladder, but hopefully, I'll see progressive improvement. Cosidering some of the possible factors that might contribute to my problem - baldder trauma, related nervous system distress, and general pain and anxiety - i'm somewhate relieved with even partial improvement. Thanks for your response.
