Catheterized for a week

I've decided to go off diapers for a week and go on a Foley with leg bag and bed bag, just to see.

I'm interested about your experience! Tell us about that!

I'm taking bets you'll get a UTI whether or not you'll admit it to us.

It's really not a good idea,

It's a foregone conclusion you're going to get a UTI.

Whenever I have to have a foley just to give my uretha a rest from self catheterising 6-8 times a day I can guarantee I get an infection . I take prophylaxis antibiotics daily and the infection still attacks me .

Good Luck

Ok, I took it out on Tuesday morning

That is the very reason I use diapers. I have had several uti's and they hurt like wildfire.

Doing it properly sterile, as do thousands of us, there’s no reason you can’t wear a Foley fr a month or so.

Sad it was too short time to geat real comfort.

When i feel a UTI coming i put a 1/2 tea spoon baking soda in a bottle of water in the morning and in the evening it stops the pain. drinks a lot of water after 2-3 days done...
