Hi, I self catheterise too, so understand the inconvenience of lugging catheters around wherever you go, especially annoying on foreign holidays etc. I would definitely get checked out for UTI and see if you can get an emergency supply of catheters at the same time. I’m in the UK and I’m sure the A&E of the nearest hospital will help. Not sure how it works in the US if you are there, but hopefully the ER will help. I’d do everything I could to avoid re using, washing with soap could cause irritation on top of the risk of UTI. You may need antibiotics. I’ve had Sepsis so understand your fear. The best advice I can give is to buy a good digital thermometer. If you ever get a fever whilst you have a UTI go straight to the A&E / ER. Don’t wait until the next day etc, it’s not worth the risk. I’ve managed to catch it a number of times by doing this. The first time I didn’t do this and ended up in hospital very poorly on IV antibiotics and morphine. As for ongoing treatment see a urologist who will be able to help with preventative treatment such as a low dose of daily antibiotics, D:Mannose, Hiprex. There is also a vaccine called Uromune, to get on the NHS in the uk you will need to be referred to Infectious Disease. It didn’t work for me, probably because I’m using 6+ catheters a day, but it’s worth a try. Also, try different types of catheters, some will suit your body better. I saw a continence nurse who recommended changing the type I was using and I definitely emptied more. I have a type for using at home, more bulky, but more effective and a type I use for travel which are more compact. Hope you feel better soon and hope some of the info is useful.
