Tips To Help Make Life With A Catheter A Little Easier
Living With A Urinary Catheter › Forums › Urethral Strictures And Their Treatments › Update with some questions
Flow is great and I had my surgery November 27, just kind of curious what is the “normal” amount of time between going pee? And if this number increases with time?
Glad to hear things are going well.
The time really varies a lot from person to person, and how many fluids you’re taking in. Right after my surgery I was going about every hour or two if I held it longer than comfortable, which my surgeon encouraged me to do for a while. Now I go all night without going, and it’s never a problem. If I had to give an average during the day, I’d probably say I go every five hours or so, unless I drink a lot or eat a big meal.
It does get better with time. Our bladder has to heal, and it can take several weeks or even months for things to return to normal.
How often are you going?

Clayton,
The frequency has for sure gone down, I have days where it’s a couple hours and days where I can easily go 5. I read in here you were saying something about nerves coming back and feeling them, I’m curious how you would describe the feeling cause I believe this is now happening to me as well. Thank you in advance for your answer, you’ve helped me a lot!
