I have recently inserted a foley indwelling catheter and have noticed very small amounts of blood in my drainage tube. Also find it quite uncomfortable.Does anyone know if this is usual and/or of any catheters which are more comfy.

My incontinence nurse specialist is refusing to discuss any of this with me and is more interested in trying to tell me I have been stupid than dealing with the problem.Thanks
