Drug protocol is between you and your doctor, based on the kind and amount of bacteria that has colonized in your bladder. Irrigation is normally considered when the Catheter gets clogged. Granted, there might be some cases when this might be recommended, using a nurse or doctor. Best Wishes In a message dated 11/5/2010 8:14:24 A.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Dear friends, I was wondering if any of you do irrigation of bladder on a regular basis. Any risk ? How much saline water must be put in ? I am using a 3-headed foley (indwelling) catheter at present. If I have a UTI without symptoms (fever, cloudy urine etc.), should I undergo antibiotic treatment ? Thanks in advance :-) Yours, Alam C5/6, 18 Yrs Post Bangladesh.
