This complaint is for an (b)(6) year-old male end-user.The end-user is new to performing intermittent catheterizations (ic).He had used the catheters for several days without problems, but then experienced severe bleeding when catheterizing.The bleeding continued, and he was admitted to the hospital feeling very weak.Since his hemoglobin levels were acceptable, it was evaluated that a blood transfusion was not necessary.The end-user was tested for in infection, but none was found.The bleeding stopped after 24 hours, and the end-user was admitted for one night.Currently the end-user has an indwelling catheter until follow-up with a urologist in a couple of weeks, where it will be evaluated if the end-user can return to ic.No further information was provided.
