Hi I usually advise to ask the medics what you are supposed to do when trapped in a situation that causes lock up: go to A&E? But what if on a plane?. Basically to ask a question that cannot be answered except by the use of a catheter. For people who do not understand paruresis, it does require a shock tactic like that. The second piece of advice is to get from me a copy of an article from the Professional Nurse magazine written by a team of continence nurses who investigated self-management of urinary problems with caths; They came out in favour of it. cheers Andrew
