Just a quick update...foley catheter was removed yesterday (thank you very much!). Some blood in the urine for the first 8 hrs. then turned tea colored. Today urine is yellow and no trace of any red blood. Able to pee with ease but more frequently than I'd like but just being able to urinate is GREAT after 12 weeks of catherization. No noticeable pain (slight burning sensation on occasion). No drips or urine leakage...lets hope it only gets better as time goes on! Doc said he was aggressive with the amount of tissue he removed. Will let the blog know if anything changes for the worse.

Hello,
I have had an indwelling catheter for seven weeks now and still have at least five weeks to wait while having a while having an indwelling catheter before I can get aquablation surgery. I was wondering if you experienced any urinary tract infection infections while you had the indwelling catheter for three months. I’ve been trying to do everything I can to prevent infections, but I’ve been told they almost always happen. Thanks, Rick
