Experiences with

Catheterisation

Hi guys, has anyone had sacral neuromodulation fitted? My urologist finally says I could try this but I'm now unsure due to having to have surgery to have this implant fitted and the possible side effects that comes with it. Main reason for me having this is to be able to stop catherising but the lady

My metastatic prostate diagnosis was established three years ago by biopsy (Gleason 9) and PMSA that showed "innumerable osseous lesions" throughout my skeleton. I was started on ADT and initially responded well. However, my PSA has now risen to 0.7. So my oncologist ordered a repeat PET/PMSA that

spent the day at the Sheffield hospital yesterday having a heart catheterisation and when all results were in the consultant said I have developed pulmonary hypertension on top of my Scleroderma. Don’t know how I feel about this yet.

I am scheduled for an ablation on the 31st of May. I am having so many thoughts about what will be done such as: Will someone have to shave my nether regions to put the ports in my groin? What if I have to urinate during the hours spent on my back in recovery, or will I be catheterized? How invasive

Hi everyone My husband is 6/7 years into MSA condition. Just wondered if I could ask if anyone has experienced any major problems with frequent blocked catheters. My husband was given an indwelling catheter nearly 12 months ago as he could not self intermittent catheterise anymore. The first 6 months

Until then nurses used intermittent urethral catheterisation. I was due to be discharged from hospital soon, and because I have very little use of my hands, intermittent self-catheterisation would have been impossible.
