A member asked:
Is it normal to feel a constant urge to urinate after getting a catheter out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: The irritation caused by an indwelling urinary catheter can manifest as urgency and frequency. With time, these symptoms should improve. If these symptoms do not improve, or you have a fever, this could be a sign of a urinary tract infection and should prompt an evaluation with a urine culture.
