Hi, thanks for using HCM.
Cauterization is one of the risk factor for repeated infection. Continuous catheter in place is not to continue. Reconstruction of urethra to pass urine is required.
Need to get other solution for your problems. Repeated infection can spread up to your kidney and causing damage.
