My doctor diagnosed me with an overstretched bladder. I was retaining 1000 cc's of urine, after naturally voiding. His treatment is for me to self-cath 4 to 5 times a day to keep the bladder emptied. I have been doing this for 2 weeks, but I worry because I get a little blood on the cath each time I cath. There is NOT blood in the urine. I think I am irratating the urethra causing this blood. Another urologist after examining me, told me I had a slight "kink" in my urethra. If I don't have a "straight" track to the bladder, could this be causing the problem?
Thanks for any advice.
