[pct-l] Pct-L Digest, Vol 138, Issue 1, 1. after Foley catheterization (David Hough reading PCT-L)

[Steve Schumm]

David, I do not have personal experience with catheterization, but I do have personal experience with BPH and prostate cancer that I would be glad to share if you are interested. I don't know how to respond privately to you from this list (sorry, not very computer savvy) but if you are interested you can contact me by email at steveschummdds at msn.com with your contact information and I will respond with any information that I have that you may find useful.

If you don't know what this is all about, count your blessings and
move on.    Too much information here for young studs, but they are probably
all over on Facebook anyway.

Women and young men sometimes get catheterized too for various problems,
but the problems are different and experiences probably not applicable to old
guys.

After an unexpected bout of acute urinary retention brought on by enlarged
prostate - a typical old guy problem - I am catheterized for a week or two.
I might be alone on this list, but if any other typical old guys had to
deal with that, I wonder about after the catheter is removed.

Were you able to get back on the trail to some extent,
how long did it take,
what were the long term effects?

If you have anything to share probably best to do it privately rather than
to the whole list.    If I get any useful information I'll provide a
sanitized summary to the list.

I will say that I was glad that it happened in town rather than on the trail,
but I've never had any retention problem at all while hiking.
