Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
It is important to know regarding your history of urination with the help of catheter in detail. The surgical details are also to be noted and recent ultrasound scan will show if your bladder is normal and whether there is any post operative bladder outlet obstruction.
In most cases urinating without catheter can be started in steps and the patient quickly learns to pass urine in normal way. Please consult urologist to know where exactly if the problem and if it can be corrected by learning techniques or there is any obstruction in the urethra. Please do not worry.
