Hi all,
had my RALP last Wednesday (07/01/26) and was discharged yesterday afternoon.
Wound healing nicely, no real pain and feeling positive.
My only issue is that I have a fairly constant leakage from where the catheter exits my penis.
It feels like I want to pass water normally with a bit of a burning sensation and this is when I have leakage.
My bag is filling well, without being aware of it, but this is negatively affecting my sleep and also my daily comfort.
Anyone having/had similar experiences and any advice would be gratefully appreciated.
cheers, John
Hello John (fILTERdOWN6389f7 )
Appy is correct, there should be no leakage from the catheter - you need to contact your team and advise them of the issue ASAP.
Best wishes- Brian.
