Hi,
      How are you? Holap surgery is usually very effective and there are less chances of bleeding after this procedure. But painful urination can happen after this procedure and last few weeks. As, the urine culture shows S.aureus, vancomycin is the best drug to use. Follow the course to eliminate the infection.
Being diabetic also delays healing. A check of blood sugars needs to be done.
Discuss with your doctor and follow his advise.
Best.
