A quad friend of mine is having problems with frequent UTIs. He uses
an indwelling catheter and has for 35 years. Of course using an indwelling
catheter that long has caused some severe erosion of the skin. He has not
had any urological exams in the past five years.
Over the last three months he has a lot of leaky age and bloody discharge
from outside of the bladder. I finally talked him into going to the
urologist and the urologist is concerned about a tumor. He will be going
in for an exam and alter sound of his kidneys and a few weeks. The
urologist mentioned that the option of urinary diversion is a possibility, but
when he asked for further information, that Dr. simply said let's just see what
we have.
I told him I would try and get some information from the Internet, but have
not found much. Any success or horror stories to pass on to him?
Thanks,
GA
