Hello Patricia and Zachary,
Yes I was also worried for infection...luckily I was already halfway through an antibiotic course for a bladder infection.
I mentioned the stitch problem to my new Urologist recently and he said that it can happen and that is why he does not advise a bladder cleanse with a catheter unlike my original urologist whom performed the RC.
I am also very pleased I pulled a stitch out instead of a staple....
So I came away very happy that I no longer have to use a catheter for a bladder cleanse.
I have noticed though when I eat too much dairy I have more of a problem with urination and have to push hard sometimes to release the urine because of a build up of the mucus.
Kind Regards
Leigh
