Increasing the size of the catheter usually involves dilating the stoma. I had to have this procedure performed a couple of years ago, but my urologist only want to go up to a 20 this particular time. I used to have a 22, but during a routine catheter change we couldn't get the catheter back in. I ended up having a 16 in my catheter for about a week.
As for the sludge, I had this problem when I had several stones in my bladder. Once the stones were removed completely, using a laser, the problem was resolved. You also need to look at what you're drinking. Sometimes so this can cause this or even a water source that is compromised. Quadius sorry this is so late, but I'm just now getting to some of my older e-mails. I thought this warranted a response.
