To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download Frequent voiding After removal of gi pta bladder cancer on 31 Aug I was discharged after 3 days. Doctor recommended returning to work after 2 weeks. Worked for 7 days. On the seventh day bled from penis whilst voiding. Contacted hospital and was recommended to drink more water. Ended up with water retention which went untreated for several hours despite huge urges and atttempts to do so by myself. Eventually catheter inserted and situation was stabilised. Lost a lot of blood over the next 2 days. Surgeon alluded to scab falling off resection wound and infection as reason for retention. Catheter removed 2 days later and put on antibiotics. Now back at home and off work. I am experiencing frequent voiding 3/4 times a night and every hour or so during the day. Drinking normal amounts of water. Physical movement exasperates situation. Anyone out there experienced similar problems and resolved them. If so how? Comments
