For story's sake, I recall a particularly stoic (i.e. redneck/hillbilliy/farmer-joe) gent that came in with acute abdominal & groin pain, fever-like symptoms and urinary issues for god-knows-how-many-weeks. It was actually his GF that slapped him around a few times in order to get him to go in the first place. Turns out his prostate was so overgrown that a) he wasn't able to take a whizz for over 6 days...think about that...and b) this massive amount of pee that was stored for such a long time had begun to stagnate inside his bladder.
Long story short, he came out of it +1 cath bag and -1 prostate/part of a urethra. He can no longer do the dirty deed, I might add.
And he was about 38-ish when he came in.
