I have got that for over 18 months. The first one was throughout natural ways; then after 4 months the urologist suggested that I had a hole in the bladder, so we did.
Finally; my urination retention solve by itself and I am now "catheter-free" although I can't control - Incontinence.
Problem was solved - I believe - After I start taking LDN.
Hope this help

My husband had a foley in for over 2 months (he could not urinate at all). It was horrible, because he had a constant infection. Now he self-caths, but if he doesn't continue with a mix of antibiotics, he gets an infection and then he can't walk. That is a problem, because the doctor doesn't want him to continue with abx. We have tried D-Mannose and cranberry, to keep the UTIs at bay, but in the end they couldn't keep up. Don't know what we can do in the future.
