I used a condom cath for 30 yrs. with absolutely no problems. A few leaks and a rare uti. about five years ago my output began to dwindle, my abdomen ached, and I felt like hell warmed over. I went through 5 hospital stays to kill rare and vicious creatures in my bladder. High fever, hallucinations, multiple misery. Through trial and error, we established a routine of cath twice a day using a new cath each time. Re-use led to re-infection every time. I still have bouts of abdominal pain, but infections are rare. I still don't know why my bladder decided to die.
