I can understand your concern. Infection and stricture is quite common after catheterization. You should go for urine routine and microscopic examination. If you have infection then you should take a course of antibiotics like levofloxacin or norfloxacin. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
