    My experience with stents

    For you guys who have been successful in making a stent that fits your body good. Do you reuse the stent or do you make a new stent each time? 
    And if you reuse it, how do you clean and sterilize it? 

    I soak mine in an alcohol solution for 5 to 10 minutes then rinse with previously boiled water.

    Where do you drill the hole? When you do it, you plug the end of the cath and then urine drains around it in your urethra into a diaper?

    I have only tried this once but it worked OK. The hole needs to be beyond the outer sphincter but not too far, maybe 5 or 6 inches from the inner tip. Be sure to avoid the filling line. My prostate has been removed so my measurements won't help.  Yes, urine drains around it.

    For me it is completely safe, it never hurts and I never had a UTI using my stents.

    When your stent is in place, do you actually feel anything? Can you feel that it is there? I have been experimenting on and off for years but until recently, with 'straight' designs.  Having had the prostrate removed 9 years ago, a single 45 degree 'bend' is all that is needed to keep a stent it in place. First efforts are encouraging but further work needed.

    I don’t know how much experience you have with catheters. First time they irritate the lining of the urethra but very soon, the urethra accepts them and there is no problem. I use plenty of sterile gel.

    Catheters can drain into a leg bag or belly bag. A two litre night bag is great for a good night’s sleep. Draining straight into a diaper is said to be dodgy. I have successfully used a small attachment were the urine drains through a pin hole in a membrane of plastic wrap. The idea being that with urine constantly flowing in one direction, there is little chance of reverse flow. The one time I tried a one way valve, I got UTI.   

    Another way to make a hole in a silicone catheter is to use a small twist drill, 2mm is adequate. If necessary, the surface could be smoothed with fine emery paper of maybe a flame.  

    Fr14 is unlikely to be too big. Fr12 is very slow to drain.   

    Good Luck!

    Spargano, five inches from the inner tip should be OK but it still might be inside the prostate and outer sphincter. You could try 6 inches. Give it a rest for a few days for things to settle down. The cuts in your holes may be a little sharp and need to be smoothed off somehow.

    For those using the modified catheter, how does it work in relation to the urine in catheter? Won’t that cause bacteria growing inside the tube? Are you able to “weld” the catheter closed under the hole?

    There is urine trapped between the ‘hole’ and the plugged outer end of the catheter. This has not been an issue for me but then I never have it in place for more than a day or so. As the trapped urine is not exposed to air, bacteria may be slow to develop.

    This pic is from my album "How I make my stent" and contains all the relevant information regarding my stent.

    Thanks for that.

    That's interesting that you feel that way, I have yet to try a stent but one thing I like about catheters is that my bladder empties as I sleep and I don't wake with am urge. I sleep better.

    When I sleep with a regular catheter into a bag, I sleep well. When using the 'modified' cath, holey foley, with a diaper, I often wake with the sensation of a full bladder. Can't work that one out.

    f I were dealing with prostate cancer, I’d ask for exactly the procedure you had.  It is definitely an improvement over the older open surgery technique with a quicker recovery and fewer abdominal muscles disrupted.  However, it still has exposed incisions that are potential sources of infection. 

    Were you able to regain bladder control after the surgery?

    Pretty well. I used pads for 10 weeks and on other occasions such as travelling when I think it might be wise. Passing wind with a full bladder is risky! Care needed. The big down side is total ED but it is worth it if you manage to get rid of the cancer. That was 9 years ago; so far so good. I am now soon 80.

    The problem with taking the abdominal route to the sphincter is that you are now in the realm of open surgery cutting through the skin and abdominal muscles to get to the sphincter.  The TURP route has a faster recovery and less likely chance of infection. 

    My inner sphincter and prostate were removed by robotic keyhole surgery going in through the navel after some prostate cancer was found 9 years ago.

    Have you shared the design? Pics?

    A modified foley catheter is simply one with a hole in the tube and the end is blocked so that urine flows out via the urethra. This is a Fr14 with a hole cut just over 10cm (4in) from the inner tip. Care must be taken not to cut the inflation line. This catheter has been used many times, explaining the stretched balloon. Before use it is soaked in an alcohol solution then rinsed with previously boiled water. The hole was cut with a sharp blade, wrapping the tube around a finger. I used a butane gas flame to smooth off the edges of the cut. (Don't know if that worked but there is no irritation.) I have had my prostate and inner sphincter removed so my urethra is shortened. A regular guy would need to place the hole a little further along, say at 13cm or about 5in from the inner tip. A silicone catheter would be easier to cut.

    Today I learned a new word. I figured people who were really into the catheters would eventually stretch their meatus, but I haven't personally found that to be the case, despite being a long time cath user. The meatus, in my opinion, is what holds me back from larger stent designs. If anyone has any good tips on stretching the meatus please let me know. Besides the meatotomy of course.

    About 26 years ago I had a "Prince Albert" piercing. Initially the piercing was very small; 1.6mm. At that time the thickest sound that would pass the meatus was quarter inch; 6.35mm. Gradually I stretched the piercing eventually to 8mm. During this time I noticed the meatus was also stretching, just by wearing a ring in the piercing. I suspect most of the stretching occurred wearing the smaller gauge rings. I can now accommodate a 11mm sound and just now am wearing a 10mm diameter Princes Wand.   

    Sexual desire or BIID?

    Perhaps the thought of bondage (wearing leg irons) excites the same part of the brain as sexual thoughts and stimulation. As a kit, I had no knowledge of sex. I guess bondage which does not involve any sexual activity, cannot be described as sexual, neither, enjoyment of diapers.
