Excellent Advice Eric. (but you always do....) I wish to add that once the cath is fully inserted, one complete loop should be added on the outside of the penis before taping the tube for the leg bag or collector..... to the high side of your leg. A LARGE X pattern with wide medical tape will help considerably. Best Wishes In a message dated 1/25/2011 7:09:29 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
when this happens to me, i become an 'asshole' so to speak to my pca...you-they must be sure not to "pull" nor "twist" the cath...you-they must make sure it is not pulling. i have my pca push the cath in to make sure it's 'situated'.

I have an indwelling catheter. My urethra has torn a little and is giving me discomfort. I really don’t know what to do to help it so it doesn’t get worse and quits causing me so much more discomfort. Do you have any suggestions?
