  That sounds strange, I'd ask your urologist about what may cause it to be hard to take out. I have had mine over 5 years and it comes out very easily. If you find out let us all know --it may be something others may face in the future. Good luck,     Dan H.

Hey Gang,

I've had a SP for 2 years now. I change the cath (18 French) every 3 weeks. Lately, it is becoming more and more difficult to remove the old cath. I always make sure the balloon is completely deflated and If it doesn't slide out easily, like it used to, I have my aide give it a twirl. Well, last night nothing worked and my aide was afraid to pull too hard so I said give it to me and I yanked it out. It bled some but the new one coated with KY Jelly slipped right in.

My question to you fellow SP users is what do you think is going on? Why is it getting more and more difficult to remove the old cath and still so easy to insert the new one?
