Hi Just me Well done for sticking up for what you needed and carrying on till you found a helpful doctor; that took the sort of persistence that is needed to deal with this condition. As for using a catheter: you have EVERY REASON to use whatever is needed to avoid the pain of a full bladder. A catheter is a very sensible and reasonable way to deal with the anxiety involved. And do allow yourself as much time as you need in the toilet; its yours till yo have finished: there is no set time. Again well done Andrew
