Dear Dr.
I have been self-cathing for over 10 years due to a bladder that no longer works. Mr Dr. has switched me to a suptra pubic catherer on Friday at the surgical center. The self-cathing had been extremely painful due to ongoing UTI's and advanced stricture desease. What are the risks/benefits of long term use? I am 63 and am healing from the surgery. I had to spend a night in the hos[ital due to blood clots in mu urine. I look forward to brighter days. Please share any advice/recommendations with me.
Sincerely,
Ronald Rubenzer
