so a little update from me- doc used camera and seemed to think bladder neck looked ok, so in situ catheter removed. Was supposed to pee before leaving the clinic but felt like i needed to but couldnt- and felt quite unwell. Eventually nurse helped me self catheterise.
Was advised to self catheterise about 6 times a day as not peeing at all. Had to move to a smaller catheter (size 12) but am now doing this. I get the urge to pee about every 2 or 3 hours and use the SC. Does disrupt my nights sleep doing it every 3 hours when the discomfort wakes me. Its on my mind all the time now..
Not sure what next - consultant gone off urethroplasty option..
I can manage the SC ok but its a faff, not sure about guidance in how often to do it? will ask..
Due to see consultant again soon
any thoughts or comments welcome of course.
