Do I Need A Catheter If Doxazosin Medication Does Not Help Blood In Urine?
I am starting tonight to take 1mg of doxazosin. I had blood in my urine. the doctor said to take it for one month and if that does not help i may have to have a catheter, I don't have that spelled right. How long would I have to keep a catheter in me.
