What Causes Difficulty In Urination And Defecation After A Surgery On Testicle?
My husband had surgery on one testicle four days ago. Now, and for the past several days, he cannot pee or defecate. He was catheterized and then his doctor took catheter out yesterday (after 48 hours on). Today, no pee or bowel movements. What should we do?
welcome to hcm, i really appreciate your concern, As during the surgery on testicles there is a chance that due to anaesthesia the nerve terminals of parasympathetic nerves surrounding the urinary and anal sphincter gets slow causing temporary delay in the urination and defecation after surgery.
please let me know if you have any further queries. thanks. regards
