Use of Urinary Catheter

Hi dr,

I had a c section and got an UTI due to the use of urinary catheter.

I have 2 queries

1) Can the catheter be inserted after spinal anesthesia

2) Is catheter really necessary for a Csection as forced by the doctor because few of my relatives who live abroad had c sections without catheter inserted as healthcare workers don't recommend it in the west
