Ive had a suprapubic for about 10 yrs now went from latex to silicone even found a silione catheter thats as flexible as latex since found out I was allergic to the latex. I get mine changed every 3 wks if I wait for 4 wks I have bad spasms n some AD. I also take a pain pill before I go so my body is more relaxed. I use a legbag during the day and bedbag at nite. I usually just rinse them good with hot water, but lately been gettin alot of uti's so been rinsing them with vinegar n hot water. Also if I get clogged I use vinegar n water to irrigate. Also talk with your urologist get him to work with you how often you should get it changed like if 4 wks is to long go for 3 wks see if its better also maybe take a pain pill or maybe some baclofen before you get it changed. Also since youve just had it done your body is just getting use to a foreign object in a different place and everyones different and some peoples body might have a harder time excepting it. Gina
