Patient's question:
How long after transurethral resection of the prostate can the catheter be removed, and when can unimpeded urination be completely restored?Doctor's answer:
After transurethral resection of the prostate, the indwelling catheter is usually removed two weeks later. The purpose of placing the catheter is twofold: first, to control the healing of the prostate fossa, and second, to provide some support to prevent postoperative urethral stricture. It is essential to follow the doctor's advice and not remove the catheterly. In addition to treating the prostate, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet and maintain a cheerful mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and accelerate the recovery process.
