Is There Any Alternate To An Angiogram?
My father is due to have a second angiogram but he has a psychological/nervous problem in that he cannot pee in front of anyone into an urinal and having a catheter inserted into his penis was very very painful the first time he had an angiogram. Is there an alternative method, for example placing a condom like rubber (with a tube at end leading to a bag) over his penis.?

yes. a condom catheter is commonly used during an angiogram. he can request this of his nurse at the time of preparation.
