My Dad was a Quadriplegic and used indwelling catheters for quite awhile but later switched to condom type.
He developed bladder cancer believed to be a result of chronic irritation from both catheter use and infections.
If I were in your situation I’d avoid long-term use of indwelling catheters considering your age.
Has your urologist addressed the possibility of irritation from catheters and infection. Not that my opinion matters but I don’t believe it’s a question of if but when.
Take care,
