Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .

You have been diagnosed to have retention of urine due to Acute Prostatitis and have been catheterized and prescribed Flomaxtra .

Urge to pass urine is due to irritation of trigone of the bladder and is due to foreign body reaction to catheter .
.
It will subside once the catheter is removed .

Till then take Oxybutinine twice daily to prevent spasms of the bladder .It will help to give relief from urge o pas urine .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis.

Take appropriate antibiotic for Prostatitis as per culture report .
