Sticking catheter

Sticking on the way out seems a bit odd to me. Sticking on the way in I could understand, particularly going through (what remains of) your sphincter. I may be a bit unusual (no comments please) but had no trouble at all with self catheterisation. I suppose it is possible that you are developing a stricture at some point in the urethra, so it might be worth getting medical advice if it is bad enough to be causing problems.

Has the brand of catheter been changed recently or has the lubricant formulation been changed?

Does it always stick at the same point during removal? If so, do you have a rough idea of what point inside you the sticking is happening?

One other possible thing to consider. Have you made a change to what you eat and drink to alter the composition of your urine? That might affect the lubricant on the outside of the catheter and make it stick.

He thinks that another dilation may be required, told to persevere at the moment as he would be more concered if the catheter was not going in.

As far as twisting it goes it seems to work.

Will see how it goes over the next couple of weeks before going to GP.

There's no need to panic just now although getting a catheter in place again for another week doesn't appeal to me. No change of catheter or diet.

Thanks again gents.

Cheers.
