I had a foley catheter inserted after hemorrhoids surgery 7 days ago. Two days after the surgery I asked the nurse to remove it for discomfort and I felt I could release on my own but couldn't do it as 7 hrs had passed. I was recathed (worst pain ever..) sent home and its been a week now since surgery. I have an appt this Tue to remove the catheter (9 days since surgery) and fear is I will not be able to urinate on my own. Maybe I'm overly worried but this is very stressful to me and family. Anyone else with similar experiences and outcomes, please share...
Thank you for reading mine.....
