Is there such a thing which looks like a worm which is passed during a catheterization event. It looks like a cylindrical membrane filled with red blood. It flops around rather than moving of it's own accord.

Not, sure what are you talking about, but there is not a worm-like organism that is passed during a catheterization.
What di d you use the catheterization for? You talk about urinal catheter?

Urinal, if possible could send some, not too good, photos.
It is a urinal catheter used since leaving hospital some 4 years ago.
The organism(?) appears to have an external membrane within which blood and/or white detritus is visible. It first appear this January past and again in February.
It does not appear to be motile it rather, flops about.

As mentioned yesterday.
The organism(?) has an external membrane within which there are regions where it contains blood and sometimes detritus(?).
It is not motile of it's own efforts rather it just flops around.
There have been two appearances, one in January the last in February.

Hello.
It is possible that what you are describing could be a blood clot or a mucous plug that was dislodged during the catheterization event.
A blood clot is a clump of blood that has formed in the blood vessels, and it can have a cylindrical shape and be filled with red blood. It is possible for a blood clot to be dislodged during a catheterization, especially if the catheter is inserted into a blood vessel. Similarly, a mucous plug is a buildup of mucus that can occur in the bladder or urinary tract, and it can also be dislodged during catheterization.
However, it is important to note that there are other possible explanations for what you are describing, including the presence of a foreign body or an abnormal growth in the urinary tract. It would be best to speak with your healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms and any concerns you may have. Your healthcare provider may recommend further testing or evaluation to determine the cause of your symptoms.
