A member asked:

19 yr female. had a catheter put in at the er. took 4 nurses, er dr., and 7 try's with small cath. lots of blood, how long before my urethra heals?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Trauma: It's unusual to have such difficulty catheterizing a female patient, but trauma to the urethra should heal within several days to a week. If heavy bleeding into the urine persists or lasts much longer than a week, consult a urologist.
