Im a health proffesional and have a prostate illness. Im 54 ..and im appealled how on howdefitiently urologists treat their patients nowadays...something has been lost in modern day medicine. Thank you for helping Dr.. i mean we have to get this explanation from a neurologist..

I’ve been in the hospital an antibiotic treatment seven weeks. I have a catheter. I will probably have a catheter for sometime after my treatments are finished. They actually just ended day before yesterday. I have pain in the tip of my penis.. It’s so bad that sometimes I don’t want to get up and walk around because the movement of the catheter going into me pulls on my penis with any movement. I desperately want a topical suggestion, please. I’ve gone onto Amazon and I’ve seen numbing creams that have lidocaine. I have no idea if a general rubbing cream that has lidocaine in it is appropriate for skin as sensitive and thin as the tip of my penis. I desperately want something, Laying or sitting around because I’m in so much pain due to the pulling of the catheter, on my penis with the slight movement, is no fun and unhealthy.. I want to be able to walk around and get some exercise.. so please any suggestions,

Hi Tev. Thanks for the information. Unfortunately my health care provider provide little to no information. On my third day at home I had an instance where I urinated past the catheter, creating not just a mess but a level of stress as I had not been warned that this can happen. I went back to ER, where they changed the catheter from a No 14 to a No 16, still with no explanation about expecting by-pass or whether it is normal. Is it normal? and is there something that can be done to avoid these unfortunate accidents?

So you recommended a lubricant probably reason that was helpful however, would you recommend if you’ve already developed a soreness? What kind of numbing cream would you recommend or not recommend? I looked up numbing cream on Amazon, but I’m concerned that some cream may not be good for an area around the penis.! The ones I’ve seen have lidocaine in it! So I have no idea. I certainly heard of lidocaine but what are your thoughts, please?

How many milliliters in the syringe I’m seeing a bunch of different sizes! ? can you use it more than once or how many times can you use it before you toss it? Can you clean it with bleach and then water? And thank you thank you thank you very much.! I have a butter infection that moved my blood. I’ve been on myosin for seven weeks now about to get out of here and manage my own, but I will have a catheter and fully strapped my leg.😅😅😂 we all gotta get by just laugh through life

How long can u leave the catheter in your penis.

Do not use a bladder syringe they have caused bladder injuries in the past hence why we don’t use them anymore. Special irrigation sterile bags can be prescribed by your gp. You can then be trained to do this yourself. High risk of urosepsis with catheters, cleanliness is paramount

Excellent video Thank you

Self cathing 30yrs. No problems. Now Urethras' is scaring causing smallest 12 to not enter. My dr. has reemed it out. But rescuers after 2mo. I do pre lube Urethra. What Advice can you give me. I have MS also.

thanks for all the great advice & information I've only had my catheter for two days and have to endure until a TURP opp in 6 weeks! have a problem with some discomfort and even more when I need to pee not sure whether its inserted correctly or if the tube in the the body is too narrow I feel like the need to resist and it last for the duration of the process any advice? thank you I don't fancy having to have the thing inserted all over again!

Excellent well prepared and simplified information!

Its a pain in the buttocks .my catheter changed every month...only pain is when removed.eletrical nerve shovk to the toes .hoing yo hav operation for cathther thru abdomen..im 75 which in that is unbelievable was also going to hav a fouble hernia operation but decided ive live 9-10 yrs wirh hernias and didnt need thev psin of operation .i hav sum discomfort with my opening nothing great just one awhile.i will shift position of catheter. I did not follow rule 5 protect ur health..

I have used Foley catheters for three years now. I stopped using night bags because the catheters would end up getting clogged. I have a day bag which first thing in the morning I connect and it fills up which I drain right away. This seems to keep the catheter well flushed. drink plenty of water in the morning. I often keep the day bag connected for an hour or two. Once the bag stops collecting I disconnect it and place a clamp made for catheters. For the first two years I wore long pants to hid the catheter. Drain it as it filled up. Again I found the it would get clogged. Since I started using the clamp method I have not had to visit the er. When I was using the night bag if I failed to drink enough water during the day my catheter would be clogged in the morning. Before I got sleep I drink two glasses of water. Fist thing in the morning I connect to my day bag and drain. Works very well. A lot less stress.

I was born with spina bifida, been using intermittent catheters for around 25 years, i am about to have an op for a urethral stricture and its been suggested thst i change from intermittent catheters to a suprapubic catheter or other. Its up to me and from what ive seen i think i would prefer to stick to how im doing it, other ways just seem like too much hassle.

This is really helpful. Thanks Tev.

Thank you. This is definitely helpful.

@tevaho This is a wonderful video. Very helpful because I just learned about the flip-flow valve. I wish you’d pay more attention to women’s issues. I’m a woman and I have uribe retention, therefore the doctor put in a catheter until my insurance approved a bladder stimulator. I’m hating the bags, the straps, so I bought the sleeves, the changing of the bags, etc, my granddaughter is graduating next week and I don’t know how the valve works. Thank you

Surely sterile water should be used when doing a bladder wash out?

What was the testoterone replacement you had ,the gel or something else and did you discontinue it

Thank you I found that very interesting. I had a catheter put in just over the week ago. I had a flip flow on it. When the district nurse came they took the flip flow off is that normal practice. I'm hoping to have my catheter taken out on the 1st of may. Is it ok to have a catheter on without the flip flow on it please could you let me know thank you very kindly

Thank you

Which is the right way to take sample for lab analysis?

Do I detect a touch of Aussie, Sir?

Orange catheter is 5.3mm dia. believe. Great tutorial.....

Not a hell of a lot of info on how to drain the bag?

Very helpful ... great information

Thanks so much. I was having the discomfort at the entry to the urethra.Simply K-Y jelly. Thanks again.

My night bag comes apart from the cathetor sometimes why ? I shove it on till its tight but you can acually see it coming apRt for no reason??? Help

my catheter tube has started to furr up inside ,so much that i t's not clear anymore.can i use a small pipe brush to clean it? Thankyou.

Thanks will be able to help my husband x

Foleys last a week....disposable unless your just switching size bags but be sure to cap the one your not using.

Very well done, thank you for the efforts to put this video on UA-cam for the benefit of the interested parties. Although, I am used to change my catheters at home with ease I learned a lot and Subscribed to your Channel. Cheers…

NEVER take a bath with a foley catheter. bacteria everywhere. thats what all my doctors told me. you can shower but cant sit in bath water

I agree that a patients may be taught to do this for themselves. Nurses are taught this as a sterile procedure using ,sterile gloves, sterile solution and cleansing of the connection site with an alcohol or chlorhexidine wipe before disconnecting to do this. Patients could have a stock of these things in the home in case they may need to do this.The water you buy bottles from a shop is likely clean but is not sterile.Having the right stuff to do this would reduce the chance of introducing infection.....otherwise, all very helpful tips.

What wonderful videos. Thank you so much. I hope other people find your site because it is very helpful and informative. This is a 5 star review for you.

Thank you

I am struggling with my suprapubic catheter I can't stand the change over it seems to snag in and out

Thank you so much I knew something was wrong no fluids were going into the bag so I squeezed the parts you showed and it started working again 😅

Why the stupid music?

What an awesome teacher

Excellent video, Dr Aho. I had hernia surgery and the surgeon and hospital released me without determining if i could urinate.Six hours later I had to go to the ER for a catheter to relieve the excruciating pain and had a catheter put in place. ER gave me no instructions if I had complications. This video would have been a great help.

Thank you so much sir 🙏 Your great knowledge very useful for my mom.

Excellent. Wish I'd seen this at end of July!!!! informative although I'm unclear least discomfort place to "glue" catheter to the leg and why do all videos show a length of "out of body" free tube at least double left for me to "tie a knot" in?

Thank you, very helpful for taking care of my father in law! ❤❤❤

thanks so mush you help me a lot

Thank you! Another quick question. What do you do if the catheter tip (the bit where wee comes out) gets enlarged and doesn’t hold the bag? I had this problem quite a few times
