I had five different catheters within 6 days after my prostate pulled away from my bladder when I started androgen deprivation therapy. Wound up having a cystoscopy for clot evacuation.
Not exactly something on my bucket list. Generally speaking, while a catheter is not comfortable, it’s a lot better than not being able to evacuate your bladder.
that’s what I expected...not wonderfully comfortable but better than not being able to go. But he seems to not be getting relief which I did not think was normal. He should have at least felt some pain/discomfort lessening once he had that catheter
