I have cipro on hand and have considered taking it to see if it helps. 5 teaspoons of vinegar to 1 pint of water and I irrigate once a day...30ml and clamp cath off for 10 minutes (longer if possible) and then let it drain

At first I thought stones, but then I read the last line. This happened to me about eight or nine years ago and to the best of my memory, which isn't what it used to be, it didn't really get under control until I developed a UTI and required some antibiotics. If you have good irrigation kits and some Toomes (I don't know how to spell that, but it's basically a 50 or 60 mm syringe) I would recommend doing some irrigation that way. You're able to clear out more with the syringe than with a normal irrigation kit. I have also found that if you can drink too large lemonades in an afternoon, you will put out an enormous amount of junk that was in your bladder. Unfortunately it can clog if you're not using irrigation all the junk out proactively. Good luck, I wish I could help more.

My indwelling catheter is stopping up about every week now. Started out changing every 3 weeks and over the past few months it's gradually gotten down to about a week. Urologist recommended flushing with Renacidin (which is not available from the manufacturer until late July) I've been using vinegar and sterile water but to no avail! My daughter cut the used catheter that stopped up yesterday and is was coated with a fine sandy grit. CT scan in April showed everything was fine.....no bladder stone. Any suggestions?
