Hi,

I just had a suprapubic catheter inserted 3 days ago. Since then I have
had the feeling in my penis like there is urine in there, or something
stuck in there and constantly stings and aches. I have tried going to
the bathroom (normal way) but nothing comes out, except for some white
stuff that looks like mucus.

I have chronic bacteria prostatitis (kleb) and after two years of
trying antibiotics, I was just told the bacteria is resistant to
everything tried. I am new to the whole CPPS thing and I live in Korea
so forgive me if I ask stupid questions.Understanding the doctor is
hard enough in English, but broken English and Korean make for
interesting conversations.

Recently my bag is starting to resemble red kool-aid. Is this to be
expected? It is redder than it was yesterday. There are also small
clumps of blood, kind of stringy. Is this normal?

I am not exactly sure of when to be concerned, when to say "I need to
watch that" and when to say "oh well, that's life"

Can anyone help me?

Keith
