I am a middle aged male with an enlarged prostate who recently had a catheter in place for 10 days. I was taught how to put the catheter in myself and this caused a UTI. I am currently without a catheter in place and am wondering if it would be beneficial for me to put the catheter back in. I feel the need to urinate but can t that well due to the enlarged prostate and I am wondering if this backup of urine is bad for my UTI. Will this worsen my infection or help it?
Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum In short
