Hi, We did intermitton cath for 3 years, a bit of blood is no big deal, can be a scrape or some blockage forming called (stricters) not sure if I spelled that correctly. After over 2 years of intermitten cathing I would bleed minor too quite a bit at times and have trouble getting the catheter to go in--I had developed stricters--(scar tissue and blockage ) well my urologist operated on this and all went good for a while then they returned...after a 2nd surgury to remove it, my doctor told me it was best to get a supra-pubic indwelling type catheter......I have had that for about 10 years now.

She pulled it out and spot of blood on catheter, so we just put a condom catheter on last night. This morning my night bag had blood in it and 1000cc of urine. And a few drops of blood coming out the penis hole.(ouch) I decided not to intermittent cath today so we would not iratate it. I am wearing condom catheter. I never had this happen in 14 years. I am worried. Should I drink alot or not much? any suggestions how to heal it? I usually wear condom catheter and change it at night & morning. I do intermittent cath to drain the bladder in between changing condom cath. Thanks in advance, Derrick W
