That hospital doctor was right and wrong; his hospital experience is of in-dwelling catheters i.e. where you leave them in, as you have to for very ill men. In those cases infection is common.
Intermittent self-catheterisation (ISC) using sterile use once disposable catheters is safe, as experience from cath users who have used this board proves.
So if you want to try again on your return, contact me and I can send you the article.
We even have available an article from the Professional Nurse magazine written by a team of nurses who investigated the whole subject of self-management of urinary issues using ISC; they came out strongly in favour of it.
And the good news is that the hospital doctor knew about paruresis and the need for CBT. It would be good if I could send relevant info to the GP and to the hospital doctor via you.
cheers
