Urethra- Who can tell me about it...

I have hesitated to ask this...But Its bothering me.
I am having peeing issues since my Surgery.
I was looking at things down there...And I dont recall my Urethra being that large or visable before.

Can an infection or just trauma from surgery cause this to swell?

Thanks

Mine was really much larger too after surgery which I chalked up to having been cathed. It shrunk back to regular size so hopefully time will take care of it for you too.

Thank you Happi1!
I was just thinking maybe it was from the Cath....I was about to google...LOL
I hope it goes back to normal!

I had all the symptoms of a UTI but I never really had one. The doctor said the bladder goes through a lot of trauma being pulled to the side for the whole operation. & Then there is the catheter. I had problems peeing for about the first 4 weeks. Into the 5th week my bladder started to go back to normal & now is fine. There was a bit of swelling down there from the catheter. Sounds normal. If you run a fever then you want to get checked for a UTI. Best wishes.
