Prostate cancer - prostate removed and catheter blocks up regularly. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hello my name is dave I have recently had my prostate removed and wearing a catheter.  But it seems to block up regularly.  Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks

  • Hi Dave and welcome to the Cancer Chat forum.

    I'm sorry about the troubles you've been having with your catheter since having your prostate removed. This must be very frustrating.

    Hopefully some of our members who have experienced this will share their tips and advice with you soon, but if you'd like to speak to one of our cancer nurses about this you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to help.

    If you haven't done so already, do let your medical team know so they can help you manage this as well.

    We're sending you all our support Dave and wishing you all the best with your recovery.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

    Thanks mate. I ended going to A&E for bladder wash. That sorted it. Thanks for your reply
