Prostate hyperplasia catheterization for 4 days, more and more severe urinary retention, how to come back

Patient's question:

I have had a catheter for 4 days due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, and my urinary retention is getting worse. What could be the reason? Can the catheter be removed if it has improved? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

According to your specific description, because of benign prostatic hyperplasia leading to recurrent urinary difficulties, further follow-up is required. Currently, the condition can be managed by focusing on finasteride and tamsulosin treatment. Once it improves, the catheter can be removed. We hope this helps.
