I need advice about a leaky catheter...please!
Icky subject, but I don't know how to handle this problem...
I'm going to the surgeon for a voiding trial tomorrow, hoping to lose this catheter. But now I can feel myself voiding down my leg, into my croc...eewwww. The catheter connection to the bags seems to be about 3" lower than when I came home on Monday. I have a feeling it's just about out of me, because it is quite uncomfortable when I sit down. Should I wait 24 hrs until I see the doc, or should I call them...or should I just yank the darn thing out? |
I think you should call them for sure. The balloon inside that holds in it may have deflated. They usually "blow" it up with saline I think. They may tell you to just take it out or may ask you to go to the local er and have it fixed.

Give them a call.
