Hi all.  Had my catheter out 2 weeks ago but still got a bit of burning after a pee especially towards the end of the wee.  Anyone else had similar.   I’ve contacted the doctors to try and get a uti test but been fobbed off until Monday.  On reading my nhs app a doctor has said in the notes that it’s unlikely I’ve got a uti and is possibly prostatism which I think is pretty much impossible.       Cheers.  Simon 

  • Hello Simon ( 

    I had a catheter for 10 months with many changes in that period - not once did I have a problem. 

    Your notes are clearly wrong as you don't have a Prostate now so I think I would be back in touch with your GP and confirm you are still having issues.

    Kind Regards - Brian.
