Not normally.


But that also depends on where abouts on his body they performed the surgery.


He could be avoiding peeing because of the pain in his body. Or the most simplest answer is if he had pain killers specifically such as Morphine or Pethadine.


These have the side effect in some people of effecting temporarily the part of the brain that gives the signal for the bladder to relax and let go of the urine.





It does where off. But in the mean time he needs to void.





Try the running water trick while he's SITTING on the loo. He needs to relax as much as possible and NOT THINK about voiding. Run the water in a tap close by or even from a jug to bowl and back again. Keep it up as it can take a long time.


Give him a mag or book to read also.


Chat to him.


Anything to get his mind off of doing what he's there for.





If he still has trouble peeing in 6 hours or if his bladder is distended to the point where he looks as if he is pregnant then you need to get to the ER for him to have an in/out cathater placed.
