Having RP on 12th August. The hospital notes I have are a bit vague, but imply I may be offered self-catheter removal at home instead of returning to hospital.
Is this many people's experience now? I'm wondering what are the risks or potential complications of doing it at home. Do you have to meet certain criteria? Not at all sure how I feel about this.
Hello Pura Vida
It's becoming more and more common with surgery and I have read a few posts where people have done this with no issues.
I had a catheter for 10 months and my catheter changes were always at the hospital - simple and painless although the urology nurse did them.
Best wishes - Brian.
