Six weeks?!?! That was such a long time to have a catheter in. By that time your pelvic floor has lost some of its ability to engage, but with practice it should return. I've heard of some guys that had it for two weeks, but most are 7-10 days (mine will be 7) so I'm sorry you had to endure that discomfort for so long!

Thanks veryvmuch for your feedback. Just had to endure the discomfort of having the catheter for that long in the name of following the Doctor's instructions. At the moment doing some kegel exercises in the hope of getting the Pelvic muscles back to normal. Other than these exercises, is there anything else one can be doing to help with the issue of urine incontinence?
