I’ve recently had a TURP, which revealed a low grade cancer but that aside in interested in your experience with self catheterisation. I had to have two further operations because of bladder neck constricture and I’m now on a period of self catheterisation to keep the neck from closing up again (twice per week). The other day I did the procedure ok but the day after I had bleeding at the start of passing urine for the whole day. Most alarming was that this was coupled by extremely sore testicles which is still the case and so I wondered if anyone else had experienced this and if it could be linked to the bleeding. I guess what I’m wondering is whether I’ve damaged anything. I’ve read that widening the bladder neck can cause thinning of the pipe work and therefore could I have poked through with the catheter?
