A member asked:
Had catheter now harder to hold in urine. why is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several causes: Catheter can cause irritation and depending on how long it was in, can temporarily decrease bladder capacity by not allowing bladder to go through fill-empty cycle. Should be short-term issue. It is also possible to have infection from catheter that can cause urgency/leakage.
