I am retaining 250ml urine any experience of how often I should do ISC? Thanks for any help
Hi SandraG
I am assuming you have been checked out by a Urologist? They should advise you how often; but for reference, when I first started ISC it was off 700ml retention, and I had to ISC 6 times a day to get my bladder back to a ‘normal’ size. Now, I ISC 3 - 4 times a day to keep on top of the retention.
Can’t remember how much I retained at the start but I do know that it can fluctuate for me. I’m on around 4 a day but sometimes I might only do it 3 times and other days I may do it 5. Increase when I’ve had to go 2+ times in 10/15 minutes.
Main reason for me to Cath is before going out/traveling home and before bed. Other than that it’s flexible…haven’t worked so while at home I can go frequently without issues
