I'm getting my word catheter out on Monday but am on my period...What do I do?

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hi, I have an appointment to get my word catheter removed on Monday but I am on my period. I'm wondering if this is just too gross or is it something that nurses/medical staff deal with on the regular at gyne clinics?

I've already had it in for 6 weeks and really want to get it over with but am I going to have to reschedule?

Any advice appreciated! Thanks
