thanks for all the great advice & information I've only had my catheter for two days and have to endure until a TURP opp in 6 weeks! have a problem with some discomfort and even more when I need to pee not sure whether its inserted correctly or if the tube in the the body is too narrow I feel like the need to resist and it last for the duration of the process any advice? thank you I don't fancy having to have the thing inserted all over 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.

I was born with spina bifida, been using intermittent catheters for around 25 years, i am about to have an op for a urethral stricture and its been suggested thst i change from intermittent catheters to a suprapubic catheter or other. Its up to me and from what ive seen i think i would prefer to stick to how im doing it, other ways just seem like too much hassle.

@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

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

NEVER take a bath with a foley catheter. bacteria everywhere. thats what all my doctors told me. you can shower but cant sit in bath water
@user-ss5mf5de8z8 ай бұрын
I agree that a patients may be taught to do this for themselves. Nurses are taught this as a sterile procedure using ,sterile gloves, sterile solution and cleansing of the connection site with an alcohol or chlorhexidine wipe before disconnecting to do this. Patients could have a stock of these things in the home in case they may need to do this.The water you buy bottles from a shop is likely clean but is not sterile.Having the right stuff to do this would reduce the chance of introducing infection.....otherwise, all very helpful tips.

Excellent video, Dr Aho. I had hernia surgery and the surgeon and hospital released me without determining if i could urinate.Six hours later I had to go to the ER for a catheter to relieve the excruciating pain and had a catheter put in place. ER gave me no instructions if I had complications. This video would have been a great help.

Get a plastic ratchet clip diameter 11.6- 12mm, also flip flow valve and ratchet clip is a a lot more convenient than a bag.

Nobody touches on the level of pain when inserting the catheter into the urethra. What if the "discomfort" equals pain? Some videos even suggest up to 6 times a day, this equals 2160 times a year. Multiply that with any number of years you have to catheter, it's the monumental level of pain involved.

He doesn’t mention a lot. Not a thing about sterility. That a big one. He dropped the catheter while using it, continued to use the same one. I’d be a careful taking advice from someone like this. I’m sure he has good intentions but it’s clear he hasn’t done the procedure often.
