Hi  Derrick...Straight cathing and any type of indwelling catheters does increase the chance of UTI's but as far as the hemorrids go, my doctor prescribed a tube creme, I think its called PROCTOZOL....I used to bleed a lot and have a bad time but we now use that if hemorroids are getting bad or bleeding-- since using that as needed after bowel routine is done, My problems with that have been fine for about 2 years now.    Dan H.

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?

I think straight cathing causes your uti's. 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.

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
