I flush my catheter daily using a tap water/vinegar mix. I've told my Dr. this & he said it's fine. I've been uti-free, & clog-free since.

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.

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.
