There is no specific limit on how long you can urinate on your own after removing the catheter, the specific situation varies from person to person, usually 1-2 hours to return to normal.
Most of the general anesthesia surgery, prostate tissue removal, lithotripsy and other surgical procedures will be retained after catheterization, and remove the catheter when the symptoms improve later. Some people can have the urge to urinate 1-2 hours after the catheter is removed and can urinate on their own.
If the bladder itself has lesions, such as urinary retention caused by weak bladder contraction, the catheter will be removed after intermittent clamping and training of the patient’s bladder contraction function, and then it will be removed only when there is no problem. Some patients may have the urge to urinate after the catheter is removed, but they cannot urinate and have urinary retention, requiring catheterization again.
How long it takes to urinate after removal of the urinary catheter varies from person to person and needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
