GP has told me I’m likely getting another one in next while - I had one in 2011 and all I remember was screaming after while passing blood clots and black urine , and no pain relief except paracetomal .

I’m absolutely terrified of the same happening again ... GP said I will be anesthetised or at the very least sedated , but I’m not too chuffed ...

In the meantime I’m to up self catheterising to 6 times a day or so :-( - I only pee 2/3 times a day which GP says means I’m risking reflux ... I can’t cope with the catheters , due to sexual assault I don’t like anything down there . I’ve managed to tear myself when catheterising before so very wary of doing it again . Can’t see anything either as the ‘hole’ is sort of too far inside .

Don’t suppose there’s any advice anyone can really offer , I’m just fucked off about the whole thing and no one to talk to really.

Oh, OP. This sounds horrible. You poor thing. We don't have any advice we're afraid but just wanted to give you a virtual pat on the shoulder and say sorry you're having to go through this.
