Bladder capacity is usually reduced somewhat by the surgery, but the main cause is that, after surgery; the bladder wall is swollen and thickened and irritable. Normally, the bladder wall is thin and elastic and maintains a low pressure until it has stored 8 to 10 ounces of urine. After surgery, the swollen bladder does not store much urine at a low pressure. As soon as it starts to fill, the pressure goes up and you feel the need to urinate.

Yes, it can. To the extent that enlargement of the prostate is contained, pressure on the bladder is minimized, thereby decreasing the urgency for urination. See similar questions...

I have to figure some people come here and have the same feeling. See similar questions...
