Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Infection and stricture is quite common after catheterisation. You should go for urine routine and microscopic examination. If you have infection then you should take a course of antibiotics like levofloxacin or norfloxacin. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
