UTIs and Chronic urinary retention
To alleviate this I have been doing
intermittent
self
catheterisation
for about 6 months now which results in frequent UTIs It seems my body has now become resistant to most antibiotics that treat this.

That together with the Aluril bladder washes and the
intermittent
self
catheterisation
should stave off the UTIsâ. Fingers crossed đ€ They are going to be testing my poo and I will have 2 nuclear PET scans a week apart to check the function of my bowel.

Living with a Suprapubic Catheter
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.

Frequent blocked catheters
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

further to before re cardiac mri
today I phoned the bhf and we spoke at length about my recent cardiac mri. She said I have a small scar on my heart but itâs not affecting my blood flow. That often a cardiac mri doesnât show up Microvascular arteries and there isnât a lot known about the condition at the moment. We talked about what

self catheterization
I'm 8 days away from completing my 45 radiation treatment. The side effects have not been pleasant but now the beam is more focused on the prostate. I am having a problem emptying my bladder and for the last week have been unable to sleep for more than 2 hrs at a time without waking to pee. My Dr. recommended

Update after cardiac catheterization.
First a BIG THANK YOU for all the advice and support. I felt you with me every step of the way. The catheterization showed no narrowing of the major cardiac arteries. But head cardiologist came and said all my symptoms were classic heart attack and clearly something was blocked...so i have a bucket

cardiac catheterization through the wrist?
My cardiologist is treating me for afib and possible CHF. He is bugging me big time to have a cardiac cath. to "rule out" CAD. I am resisting this, as many years ago I had a very bad experience with the femoral artery entrance way for the catheter procedure, and recovery was lengthy. The cardiologist

How to get bladder to hold urine again? Bladder training?
Looking for guidance from others who have had to regain bladder function. I had a bad case of Radiation Cystitis along with hemorrhagic bleeding that sent me to the hospital multiple times for blocked urine flow due to clots, the last time being end of Jan 2023. After 20 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen

Bladder & Urethra Issue
RP 2007 and EBRT 2009. I've had intermittent hematuria for many years and on 3 occasions blood clots have caused obstruction and inability to urinate. I've learned to self catheterize in these situations which has usually resolved the issue after a few days. This time it's more severe. Heavy bleeding
