Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, it may be due to BPH. You can take tablet Urimax after consultation, if it is not helpful then better to go with surgery. After that you may not require catheter. Surgery has good results. Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
