Having trouble urinating after surgery

[CrazyCrohnieKatie]

I had surgery on Monday morning, they had a really hard time putting a catheter in due to swelling down there bc of the fistula I have. They removed my Cath yesterday and I couldn't pee. I tried and tried but nothing. Everything else went great, my stoma is already working and not in to much pain. They put a new Cath in and either tomorrow or Saturday taking it out to try peeing again. Has this happened to anyone else? What helped them pee?

It has not happened to me, but it must be rather annoying... I hope it's gonna work for you today... I guess inflammation might prevent your from urinating? I wish I had some input regarding this. I'm guessing DustyKat might have an idea regarding this?
