[QUAD-L] Supra pubic catheter
I’ve had a Supra pubic catheter since 2009. Paralyzed since 2008. The catheter itself was changed out this past Thursday. When the nurse took the catheter out blood was dripping from the hole. This has never happened before. I’ve had a little bit of blood for one to several days in my urine after a catheter change many times through the years. But never had anything like this happen. Today it is dripping from where the catheter goes in. My urine looks like dark raspberry tea. Has anyone ever experienced the dripping blood before? Sent from my iPhone
Re: [QUAD-L] Supra pubic catheter
I have some blood or drainage at times on the tissue around the hole, not much. The only time I had a lot of blood in the bag was 14 years ago when I had bladder stones.

Have someone look closely at the hole to see if there's any tissue building up. Might be easier to visualize when the catheter is out though. That said, all my bleeding has been around the stoma on the outside. I've never had enough blood inside my bladder to change the color of my urine. Monitor it for a couple days but don't wait too long.

Re: [QUAD-L] supra-pubic catheter
SP has nothing to do with the stomach. It goes thru the skin directly to the bladder. I have had mine for 3 years now. Much fewer infections now than before. Mine is changed every 3 weeks. When I felt it in for 4 weeks I got more infections.

Re: [QUAD-L] supra-pubic catheter
Women can have a few internal problems that might make a Supre-public cath a problem. Dropped bladder, dropped uterus, Sounds like some women just come apart inside. If you see some women that have had lots ofchildren and their kidneys are just below their C-7 vertebra...well, you get the picture. Bladder augmentation would be slowly stretching your bladder so it would hold more urine. This can help reduce the risk of autonomic disreflexia in some paralyzed people. It is important that you be a great judge of how much your bladder is holding as residual. A Urologist can be a fountain of knowledge...metaphorically speaking.

RE: [QUAD-L] supra-pubic catheter
I had mine done at Craig hospital in Colorado. I still have constant UTI's however I think mine are caused by possibly my caregivers not washing their hands enough and constantly being around my younger brothers however.. for me because im a younger male it also allows for sex.. Im not sure how concerned you are about that, or if it's a problem for you.. changing them is fairly easy as well, my nurse comes out once a month to change mine. Hope this helps some!

[QUAD-L] supra-pubic catheter
Bladder Augmentation, was a procedure pioneered by a URO for those born with Spina Bifida. The doctor builds a tunnel using your material from the bladder and connects it to a flap by the belly button. You know about the SP already. You might also consider doing GOGGLE search on both for your perusal and consideration. Best Wishes In a message dated 1/10/2008 8:29:50 P.M.

Re: [QUAD-L] supra-pubic catheter
Did your doctor say that your body will accept a SP? Most can, some can't. There are more Pros then Cons regarding that procedure. Is the SP more effective for you then a bladder augmentation, thru the belly button? Best Wishes In a message dated 1/10/2008 7:49:54 P.M.
