Catheter comes out today at 3pm. Yeah! I can't stand the thing, having it is worse than the surgery itself. I've checked the surgery area and can't really see much except a slice of skin with a tube (cath) sticking out. It will be interesting to see what my urologist has to say about it. I did get a semi-erection the other night and it was a little strange, I think my penis is a little numb, not completely, but a little. Hope I can pee after the catheter comes out so the doctor releases me. We'll see.

congrats on your opperation

glad to here all went well

So?

The cath came out and . . . .

Truly hope the delay in the cath outage report does not bode bad stuff.

Good luck. Really. And thanks again for sharing.

So how did it go? We are all waiting to hear. Hope all is ok.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I had my appointment and my urologist said, "Well, it's not quite healed up yet, I'd like you to keep the catheter in for two more days. Come back on Friday!" Worse news you can imagine, however, I went home and toughed it out. Back to see her Friday and all was o.k. She however was not feeling well, but, she held up the catheter and starting filling it up with sterile water. Then she said sit up and said she wanted me to pee in a hat! I kid you not, it's somekind of measuring device that sits on the rim of the toilet. So the catheter came out and I didn't even feel it or know it was out, but there I was sitting down for the first time peeing in a hat It was strange to pee with out pee coming out the tip of your penis and it surprised me when I started to pee out the reroute, weird feeling, but not bad or painful. The nurse and the doc looked at the hat, saw the measurement and told me to get dressed. We exchanged pleasantries, she told me she wanted to see me in a month, and then she left but not before she said, "You know you'll also ejaculate from down there now too?" I said yes, I know. She said, "It'll be a little different." I shook my head and she walked out. I kind of thought that a little strange for her to say, but I don't know how much to take from it.

Anyways, after getting home I sat to urinate again and lifted my penis out over the edge. I thought, "Well there's no urine coming out of it so why not lay it on top of the toilet seat while I pee?" Wrong! A little urine started spraying out the tip along with what was coming out the new reroute hole. I was not, am not, happy. I'll have to call the good doctor on Monday and tell her that she didn't totally seal off the urethra. Man, this is disturbing. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, I certainly don't want any additional surgery to fix the problem, I don't want to wear a catheter ever again, but we'll see what she says. That's about it for today. P.S. still have some numbness below the scrotum or what's left of my scrotum.

Maybe it just needs a little more time to heal. Maybe if you press on the base of the penis just above the new pee hole and prevent pee from entering the penis that might help give it time to finish healing and re-route. Just an uneducated guess. Best wishes.

nullorchis,

You know, you might just be right, can't hurt to try it. Let you know what happens.

Are you sure it was urine and not some other secretions from within the penile urethra?

Thanks for checking in. You had us <foot tapping> waiting? & concerned.

moi is right.

These kind of things must heal from the inside out. Discharges are usually associated with healing and the immune function, and do not necessarily mean that there is an infection.

I suggest that if you can stand it to put pressure on the old urethral route to force the urine out of the new orifice until the discharge goes away. You do not want the urine backing up into your old urethral tract creating a blind pouch or sac to harbor infections. Follow cleansing instructions for the area religiously.

If the area gets painful, becomes red, swollen or changes color seek medical help. You do not need a post op infection. Make sure that you follow with your doctor until he/she releases you.

Interesting Hash...I too have a split head and cannot pee standing up because of the spray/splatter zone..I just sit down..Have for years now..I like it...Makes me feel more ladylike...If I was offered it, I'd take everything you have...I have been contemplating going to Detroit this spring and getting castrated by that doctor there...I'd love to be ball-less and a eunuch...My little worthless cock just shrivelled and tiny...Glad to hear you're well...My guess is, the sealing of your penis should be a minor procedure...Good luck bro Jackie
