No.: Sometimes narcotics (pain medications) can cause urine retention (difficulty starting urination). Other problems can arise if you had a catheter placed - i.e. Urinary tract infections. Bottom line, talk to your doctor about this.

Need more info: If you mean your urine stream, it can be from a Foley catheter, it can be from narcotic pain meds, it can be from dehydration. Please speak with your surgeon.
