Unable To Empty Bladder. Had Gallbladder Removed, Catheter Inserted. What Is The Reason?

My husband had his gall bladder removed last Monday laproscopically and he has been unable to pee since then. He has had a catheter inserted three times but each time it comes out he is still unable to pee properly. Just dribbles come then his bladder fills and he is unable to empty it. We were told it was caused by the anaesthetic and it should clear up.

Hi, the anaesthetics will have effect on the sphencters, but it may not be so long, any how i suspect urinary tract infection, or prostate enlargement. To be on safe side i advise you to consult a urologist for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
