Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Georgia

I recently had surgery to remove a penile prothesis. They irrigated the area, and told me that it would drian a little. A day so later it began to drain. I noticed the smell of urine no one else did but me. The doctors claimed it to be from the ademia, but I have not urinated in more that twenty-four hours and it started draining two and a half days ago. I believe they damaged my bladder some type of way. The incision is where the leak began. I'm so confused, please shed some light on the situation and help with whatever opinion you have about this situation

You have a medical problem, obviously. And you've done something strange. You've gone and asked for medical advice on a legal site. When you have a post-surgical complication, you call a doctor or go to the hospital (the ER).

In the unlikely event that the problem is actually malpractice (and actually causes any serious long term damage) rather than just a normal complication, then you might want to see a lawyer at some future point.

But for right now, turn off the computer, get in your car, and drive to the doctor's office, or, if he is unavailable, drive to the ER.
