I was diagnosed with IC when I underwent a cystoscopy/hydrodistention in 1999. Since then I have developed a urethral stricture in addition to the IC. I am having another cysto/hydro tomorrow, 2/25, and my urologist is going to take care of the stricture. I have a very poor stream. Anyway, he says I will go home with a catheter for 3-5 days to help keep the urethra open as it begins to heal. Has anyone had to go home with a catheter like this? That is the only thing I am worried about. But if it helps with the stricture, I can deal with it. I would like to hear your feedback on the catheter part.
Thanks,
