Self cathetizing seems like it may be the only alternative if one does not want to take medication or get a procedure for BPH.

However I imagine that it must be painful to do. I don't understand if there is a blockage how would the catheter be able to push past the blockage.

Unfortunately I may have to do it but it seems almost like a medieval torture.

    When I was in hospital to have my aortic valve replaced they could not get a standard catheter in as I had prostatitis at the time and they had to use a supra pubic one.
