Guest guest Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 I have had a catheter in me for 10 months since I was diagnosed and it is a royal pain, literally. Some time ago the uro asked me about self cathetering. At the time I was not in favor of it, and probably still aren't. My question is this: has anyone in this group ever used self cathetering? I mean over a long period of time actually since it is likely that I will never be able to urinate on my own again. What I would like to know, is did it work okay? How easy was it to put in the catheter, and how much discomfort was involved? (I do realize that everyone is different on the discomfort part). Also any other info you can impart about this. Please let me know. I will ask the uro when Ii see him again next month about that. Your input on this will be a big help. (I am stage T3b with Gleason score of 4+4=8 and PSA around 5.0 and am on Zoladex treatments every 3 months). Dave Halvorsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
