i have residual of 300cc's of urine left after voiding/pissing..I void at 600cc's.I have had problems ever since my injury 9 years ago.I drink plenty of fluids.No urologists wants me to take an everyday antibiotic but i get a uti every 3 months or less.I end up with taking Cipro mostly.I have a bleeding hemorrhoid that has my blood down so low that I'm in a need of a transfusion.The doc tells me if they cut them that there is a great chance i will lose control of my sphincter muscle.Not a good thing imop.....Has anyone had this sugery?

If you don't have a residual of 150cc's or more then your just introducing bacteria to your bladder. I only catheterize for specimens and I rarely get 100 cc's. My UTI's always seem to occur after they need a specimen.johnIn a message dated 10/14/2006 9:01:52 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:I just obtained another uti.I believe the uti's are coming from not emptying my bladder all the way.I use a condom catheter all the time but i straight cath every morning and night to completely empty my bladder.Well, last friday and monday night my aide them nights had a broken finger and i did not get the bladder empty.Now, Thursday/Friday, i have a uti.Does anyone think this would cause it?Or is it just circumstances?Thanks,Derrick C-5
