Hello,

* The initial therapy with foley`s catheter might be a demand of time. But it does not mean life long catheter requirement.

However, if you can provide her all reports as an attachment in the follow-up session, I can guide further best in this direction.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
