My experience with stents

[diapersteven]

Cathdiap:

I have had my own stent in place for more than a year, with only having it removed for a short while to clean. When I looked at it last night, it's time to make a new one. I would love to try your design, but can not figure out exactly how you added the new pieces of plastic tube at the bottom to create the bulges.

[cathdiap]

Wow, if you have had your stent in for more than a year, you had better

[diapersteven]

While it may sound that way, my version does actually tend to migrate up and into the bladder only when I sleep.

[cathdiap]

Well in that case you might give my stent a try as it doesn't migrate at all...

To create the bulges I cut off two small pieces (6-8mm)

I can't seem to get mine inserted more than about a 5mm

Sorry to hear that. Did you try some lubricant before insertion?

yea, I had no problem inserting an 18fr Foley but I guess the 6mm tubing with the cut ends turned in per your design is too large, it's like it hits a wall about 6mm in

Sam.

I made one of cathdiap's stent designs.

Ah my mistake. In that case you are perfectly normal only small.

I've found that the very edge skin around the opening can be a little sticky. Pulling the urethra opening gently apart - to your left and right - while sliding the tube in may help. That helped me. Now if I could make a working prototype.

I made my stand by cathdiapers's instructions took a couple of tries but it does work the bottom after the angle I made a little bit longer to help it stay in place the top angle is not as slanted but it does work it all depends on how your body is shapped took me several tryed but now it works fine

Go off of cathdiapers's instructions

Mine was cut at 15cm long.

1/2cm from the top of the tube Make

How long do you go with your stents in

[cathdiap]

Three to four days in a row, then my

Does the Incontinece stop after that long of use once stent is removed

It takes a few hours for the sphincters to return to their normal strength, so it is advisable to wear a diaper the first day after removal.

POTENTIALLY dumb question here: I used a stent...I tried and failed multiple times making one, it wasn't exactly COMFY going in, and I finally got a design that was more comfortable, and I got in (after a few tries...I don't know why the crochet hook method seems difficult!). But that lasted until maybe a few minutes later at most when it came RIGHT BACK OUT with the next urination. I know I used flexible tubing, I know I used a size around 14fr like the caths I've used, and I know the ANGLE i used was maybe 45 degrees or so? Well...how do I keep it from coming out? How do I keep it in PLACE better?

Thanks for your advice. Also...if I increase the angle, or if I use harder stents, it feels harder to get it in and much less comfortable. Advice?!
