If I ever get to the point were my Foley needs removing, I would need to see my Uro. in order to replace it. Due to Urethral Sphincterotomy, I now have some type of blockage (stricture). In order to replace Foley; a metal rod is inserted into Foley, then slide into bladder with some force and a twist, leaving me bleeding and stinging. Its not as bad as it sounds, but something else will need to be done.
