My husband had a Hemorrhoidectomy surgery alittle over a week ago. He was home for 4 days and was unable to urinate or have a bowl movement. I brought him to the hospital and they put a catheter in. The docter is thinking, they cut his prostate when they did the Hemorrhoidectomy. Is this a common thing? After 4 days in the hospital they sent him home with the catheter in. He gets that removed in a day. He's had it in 7 days. Isn't he susposed to do something to retrain the bladder? Will there be other problems when they remove the catherter?
