Male with neurogenic bladder: what are my options?

Good Morning @sperio ,
Thank you for your comments. As I have stated, I presently have a catheter in May that the urologist we move every four weeks in asserts a new one. So I have had a little to do other than empty the bag and wipe down the tube that connects from my penis to the stationary holder. And about a month or so I will have to start self catheterization and that will require a lot of my part. So I’m trying to find out what lies ahead and how my life is going to be. I’ve been googling and picking up some information there. I didn’t realize that they were so many choices as far as catheters were concerned. Such as whether you have to lubricate yourself or self lubricate, the type of tip, whether it is flat or what is a cute, length, and so on. Confusing and foreign information to me right now. You stayed at the type of catheter that you were using. You must have tried others and I have found this to be the best. Can you tell me why you use this particular catheter and what advantages you think it has over the other ones. Also, can you share with me any do’s and don’ts?

Dear;
Apology for late reply, I read it yesterday.
As for your bag it will tell you when to use the CIC as you monitor the capacity on a daily basis.
I am using teh CIC for 30 months now without any problem or complaint, as my previous narrators said it will become part of your life and you will coexist with it, just follow the instructions that came with all the self cather, I am using French 12-40, I tried many brand until I found the most suiitable for me, you can do the same.
Wish you all the best.
My bladder is not responding at all I am an Underactive bladder. but for you you will definitly have to consult your urologist.
If you need any additional information feel free to ask.

You are correct as options. Mayo recommendation and no reason to change. Coloplast very helpful as to integration into lifestyle . Very scary at first, now a way of life. You can do it as thousands do for many years. You are not alone. years.
