Another thing you can ask your urologist about is a bit bigger sized catheter--I been using a 24 french for over 10 years now. Dan H.

Typically, I don't have problems and I change it about every month. Lately, my catheter has been getting blocked about every two weeks or more often with sludge and my husband has to put a new one in. I have irrigated it with normal saline. Is there a better solution I should use to help with the sludge? I've heard of vinegar, but I'm not sure if it is safe or what ratio to dilute it. I have an appointment with a urologist, but not until June, would love some advice before then. Thanks Debbie C4 incomplete/April 2005
