I typically straight cath twice a day, occasionally more. I use a 16 inch FR 14 catheter. It's made of a firmer clear plastic as opposed to rubber because my hand dexterity sucks.
Over the past couple of years, I would occasionally have a situation where I would slide the catheter in and feel it get up to my bladder neck, but it would not go in. If I turned my body slightly on my side and pulled one of my knees toward my chest, I could get it to pass through. Basically body shifting and applying pressure to my perineum would typically help.
I remember when it first started happening, I mentioned it to my urologist while he was doing a urodynamics, but he saw nothing wrong with my urethra while he was looking through the scope on the way into the bladder.
The past two days I have not been able to get it in whatsoever. I'm so fucking fed up dealing with constant bullshit that has to do with his disability. But, who isn't? It's as if the catheter is sliding in, but as it curves up with the urethra it gets hung up against the rim of the sphincter as opposed to going through the opening. That's my basic visualization, whether it's correct or not who the fuck knows.
So far I'm reflex voiding, but there is a half bladder of residual. When I am able to catheterize, it's nice to have an empty feeling bladder for the next 4 or 5 hours before the voiding kicks in. So far I am still reflex avoiding, but there is still residual. This leaves A constant full feeling, along with clamminess and sweats. Every five minutes I void about 20 to 50 cc, along with the fun spasms that go along with it.
Anyway, does anyone have any experience with this issue, and what helps?
Thank you.
