What Could Be The Cause For Severe Pain And Loss Of Bladder Control After Catheter Removal?
I went to a hospital a couple weeks ago and had to have a catheder put in to get a urine specimen. The person had problems finding the right place to put it and wound up inserting it in 3 or 4 different places which caused a level of pain that I had not experienced in my previous experience with that procedure. I continued to experience pain from that area at least a week from that time before it subsided. After sexual intercourse the pain has returned and I almost feel as if I am losing control of my bladder, false needs to urinate and such. What do I do

Hi,
