Had Greenlight 3 days ago, and  the urologist told me to keep the foley in until Monday . But when I wake up in the morning only after 4 hours sleep there is 1800ml of urine. What I want to know if the foley was not there to collect it, would this mean I would be waking up every hours to urinate. Normally without this BPH, a man holds in his urine all night and voids in the morning. But no void 2000ml in the morning. Does this mean I will be a bedwetter and wear depends. I like lifting weight, when can I go back.?

    Greenlight completed last Thursday, the direction of my sperm was diverted to my bladder and things will never be the same. But I can urinate.

      It was not deverted there.  It has no other place to go because your prostate was distroyed.  That is what happens  Take care  Ken
