Yes, often this is the result of reflex voiding, esp. if you have a high pressure bladder and DSD.

Do you have any tenodesis (wrist extension)? Do you have a tenodesis splint? It is difficult to do without this, although some have managed using a catheter inserter like this (which can be used with a universal cuff). You still have to manage your clothing and hold the penis.

Is there anyone who lives with you who could learn to do this for you?
