    Are you sure it's 3000ml ? It's 3 liters. You must have felt very bad carrying so much urine around. Depending on how long have you been retaining that much, it may or may not come back to normal size.

      3000 is a very large amount.  Once I had 1800 ml but after emptying with the help of a catheter there was no major issue.  Hopefully, it will become normal with time.  Tests will reveal any residual damage.

      Just curious. How long were you carrying that 1800ml with you ? Did you think that you were getting fat too ? ☺

      I was travelling away from home,  I believe retention started around 10 a.m and I could reach the emergency room around 7 p.m.  So, about 9 hours. I felt very bad.. always wanted to empty but couldn't  pee a drop.  I was restless  and feeling fullness in abdomen area.   I had BPH for many years.  My prostate was 80 cc.  I had to undergo TURP in late May.  Now the flow is good..no retention..

      1800ml is a lot but you only carried it for a short while so no wonder you recovered. Congrats on the successful TURP. Hank

    May not come back. Bladder sounds stretched out. The surgery makes a few things mad. ( Bladder muscles, stretching from the instruments, swelling, scar tissue strictures, clots and material in the way.) But I never heard of a bladder being that big.

    2 weeks is still early to judge. Some people take up to 6 weeks to recover. Are you still leaking blood, blood clots and dead tissues during peeing ? Hank

      It's what I thought, for suprapubic catheter. Do you have SPC now ? Hank
