Cyndi, I didn't know that. Maybe what I'm doing then is good.
Those silver coated catheters Are "indwelling" catheters that stay
installed semi permanently. The silver coating prevents a biofilm from
building on the catheter.
I use "outdwelling" ones so no bacteria biofilm buildup occurs but:
There still is the likelyhood that infection in the urethrra is carried
into the bladder and that keeping infection minimal is effective. At
least in my case. And the CS seems to be doing that.
I probably won't tell the Dr. what I'm doing. Some Docs have a tendency
to 'blame the patient' for his own illness and this not being Standard
Care (approved by the Standard Medical Criminal Enterprise) gives the
Doc that opportunity. He possibly could put his license on jeopardy for
condoning it and most certainly could not advocate it.
I will ask him about silver gels as a catheter lubricant though. Amazon
has some but they are darned expensive and I'm not sure if they are
water soluble.
Thanks again, Cindy.

I heard that they make catheters with silver on them just for this
reason. I found this when I googled it.

They are saying those catheters are expensive but worth the price
because of less infections and less antibiotics taken. By using your
own cs you are doing the same thing with no added cost.
You should print them out and show them to your doctor. That second
link is from way back in 2006 so why don't they know this?

Doctors have been telling me my UTI is bladder infection.
I decided that it was prostatitis and that every time I used a catheter
I was irritating the urethra to engender infection and pushing infection
into the bladder. In short, no pun intended, infection is not
originating in the bladder in my case.
A couple of months ago I started irrigating the urethra with CS _after_
every cath and since then I have had none of the low level fever that I
had a lot and no other symptoms except cloudy urine and even that clears
occasionally, somewhat, for no apparent reason
.
You have to really Google! a lot about prostatitis to put it together
but my interpretation of the bottom line is that my problem at least is
not a simple bladder infection and the allopaths do not care to discuss
it. Too easy for them to just say "bladder infection" and haul out the
antibiotics for a temporary fix.
If "biotic" means "life" (and it does) then "antibiotic" literally means
"anti-life".
I'm sure that somebody out there has been down this road and if you have
any criticisms - Please do!
