Excellent. Very well presented. After years of problems resulting from a spinal injury I now have a catheter from September 2022. I didn't realise that one can remove the bag and close the catheter for a while. I will give it a go when I am used to this new regime.

Very well done, thank you for the efforts to put this video on KZfaq for the benefit of the interested parties.

What wonderful videos. Thank you so much. I hope other people find your site because it is very helpful and informative. This is a 5 star review for you.

What an awesome teacher

Thank you so much I knew something was wrong no fluids were going into the bag so I squeezed the parts you showed and it started working again 😅

I have used Foley catheters for three years now. I stopped using night bags because the catheters would end up getting clogged. I have a day bag which first thing in the morning I connect and it fills up which I drain right away. This seems to keep the catheter well flushed. drink plenty of water in the morning. I often keep the day bag connected for an hour or two. Once the bag stops collecting I disconnect it and place a clamp made for catheters. For the first two years I wore long pants to hid the catheter. Drain it as it filled up. Again I found the it would get clogged. Since I started using the clamp method I have not had to visit the er. When I was using the night bag if I failed to drink enough water during the day my catheter would be clogged in the morning. Before I got sleep I drink two glasses of water. Fist thing in the morning I connect to my day bag and drain. Works very well. A lot less stress.

Very informative, thankyou

Excellent. Wish I'd seen this at end of July!!!! informative although I'm unclear least discomfort place to "glue" catheter to the leg and why do all videos show a length of "out of body" free tube at least double left for me to "tie a knot" in?

@tevaho This is a wonderful video. Very helpful because I just learned about the flip-flow valve. I wish you’d pay more attention to women’s issues. I’m a woman and I have uribe retention, therefore the doctor put in a catheter until my insurance approved a bladder stimulator. I’m hating the bags, the straps, so I bought the sleeves, the changing of the bags, etc, my granddaughter is graduating next week and I don’t know how the valve works. Thank you

Thanks for the great information

Very helpful ... great information

Orange catheter is 5.3mm dia. believe.

Thanks will be able to help my husband x

Thank you I found that very interesting. I had a catheter put in just over the week ago. I had a flip flow on it. When the district nurse came they took the flip flow off is that normal practice. I'm hoping to have my catheter taken out on the 1st of may. Is it ok to have a catheter on without the flip flow on it please could you let me know thank you very kindly

Thank you!

thanks

My night bag comes apart from the cathetor sometimes why ? I shove it on till its tight but you can acually see it coming apRt for no reason??? Help

Not a hell of a lot of info on how to drain the bag?

Hi Tev. Thanks for the videos, very informatives. I recently had a catheter inserted in me, after not being able to use the toilet for 9 hours (due to the use of some classe A's and an urinary infection). I've also got a stent on my left kidney. All because of a cyst (15cm) on my right ovary that is pushing the organs down there to the side.

Thank you doctor. I got a kidney stone removed with laser via the urethra and I lost the ability to urinate. I'll be wearing a urinary catheter for 4 days according to my doctor, but I feel I might need more time as the tip of my penis hurts a lot, and I can tell by the feeling of the catheter that it definitely needs more time. Where do I go from here? Should I wait more or trust my doctor and remove it and then try to urinate? I really don't want to have to go through the whole thing all over again, any thoughts on that? Also is it possible to tell while wearing a catheter whether you're fixed up and the ability to urinate is most likely going to happen ?
