@billchitwood Howdy! I may have the same as you, maybe not. But my story: I have several genetic diseases, including stage 3 CKD. Gelsolin may be the culprit, as it attacks every tissue in the body, especially the kidney, heart and liver. Anyway, I have cancer everywhere, especially the urinary system, prostate, etc. I have bled from the penis constantly for about years. Now I cannot even pee without using a semi-solid catheter, and I leak blood all the time from both penis and anus. Anyway, I just get the big pads from Northside, through Amazon. Cost a dollar a pad, which lasts 24 hrs and covering from beltline to beltline. They work well, save clothing and bedding from a terrible drenching, and my wife from a very distasteful job. No one seems to suggest anything else but a full-time catheter, or surgery, and I am not ready for that yet. You are not alone. Selah. oldkarl
