Difficulty urinating: What helps with urination reluctance?

@mjp0512 Could you explain how you do this many times per day? I have always been catheterized by someone else either before/after a procedure - and usually with lidocaine gel.
Do you use this? I know it must be done, but there’s something about holding a slim tube in my hand and thinking, “OK, now slide this up my pecker until I reach the bladder”.
How the hell do you do it??😬Thanks,
Phil

@heavyphil Ok...I just nozzle-nosed coffee all over my keyboard.🤣🤣🤣
Not sure what you want to know. You already perfectly described it.
“OK, now slide this up my pecker until I reach the bladder” ...yep, that's pretty much it and no, no lidocaine... and when flow stops, pull it back out. I use hydrophilic catheters (so self-lubing). It took about a day to get used to it and maybe 3 days to get over it. It's really no big deal at all. Zero pain, maybe slight pressure at the sphincter but usually not. Biggest deal is clean hands. UTI's are no bueno. (Although you never really touch the tube that's inserted. There's a sleeve on it.)
