[recycled sixtie]

Well I am not a medic. professional but I did have a catheter in place for 2 weeks. The only problem with blood in the urine was when it was plugging the top of the catheter and the urine would not drain. So they had to remove the old catheter and put in another one. It was painful for the nurse to put the catheter in and take it out. Yes you are a tough guy but u gotta do what u gotta do. My fil is 96 and he has a catheter in full time. I have an enlarged prostate and the psa level is one notch below non-acceptable levels. So far so good but I get 6 month
psa readings. Hang in there brother!
