Thank you

Self-catherterisation is not pleasant, I 've had to do it myself.
It was assumed to be the MS that was causing it but it was due to a enlarged prostate gland (benign) usually called benign prostrate hyperplasia. A Urologist I saw gave me Cialis which is also used for erectile dysfunction. I was told to stop self-catheterisation and was given a type of thick condom which had a tube on the end connected to a leg bag to catch the urine.
Eventually, the Cialis did the job and I stopped having urine problems. It also improved my sex life which was what Cialis
was developed for, but later found it shrank my prostate enlargement and I currently take 5mg per day and no self-catherterisation. Ask your Urologist about it.

Hi Liz.
Are you saying the issue you have with your catheter is having the catheter supplies? Are you saying you need guidance in how to do it or what other resolutions/alternatives.

For Liz (via Chollie),

All General Hospitals have an Incontinence Dept with a Urologist and Urinary Nurses. They carry out the assessments and arrange a supply of continence aids in line with your continence needs, be it for women or men.

Incontinence in my case was erratic, and sometimes needed continence aids. I now have primary progress MS and my incontinence syptoms are no longer a problem for me. See MS Trust article Bladder incontinence | MS Trust
