A member asked:
Had a hemorrhoidectomy yesterday and a catheter was used. now i feel an intense need to urinate constantly. will this go away? i can't sleep.

Should pass quickly: Sensations of urgency, frequency and discomfort after a catheter should be transient. It should resolve in a day or two. Persistent symptoms may be the sign of a urinary tract infection, which can occur after a catheter, and should be brought to your doctor's attention.
