I've had a catherta since July 2017, in the last 16. Days I've had 11 cathertas replaced due to rejection. I'm now suffering hot and cold sweats, last night after my second catherta that was replaced that day and expelled itself with bleeding, are my hot and cold sweats an end result as body going into shock, is it nirmal?

    I don't know anything about catheter rejection, but I am assuming you have something like a Foley/suprapubic catheter?   However, if you are having hot/cold sweats, I would think you have a fever which points to an infection somewhere.  Have you taken your temperature?  If it is above normal, then I would probably go to the emergency room.   You don't want to delay and end up with sepsis.

    This is not normal. Please consult

    Your urologist as soon as possibile.
