Suggest Treatment For Bladder Infection

default
Posted on Fri, 12 Aug 2016
Question: I have an ongoing bladder infection (10 yrs) which hasn't responded well to antibiotics. My Urologist decided to try putting an abdominal catheter in my bladder to relieve the stress in the bladder. That is working pretty well. However, I get drainage around the tube where it's inserted and this awful odor along with an odor from my leg bag. What do you suggest? It's embarrassing because I can smell it and know others can as well. XXXXXXX
PS: I'm having trouble with my email.

Hello

You have been put indwelling Foley Supra Pubic Catheter to drain out your bladder and to control bladder infection .

You are facing problem of leakage of urine by the side of the catheter which is cumbersome to you and causing foul smelling .

The leakage of urine by the side of the catheter is due to spasm of bladder due to foreign body (Foley Catheter ) .

Taking Oxybutinine or Tolturadine twice daily will help to resolve the issue .
