Can The Wrong Size Of Catheter Permanently Cause Urine Leakage ?
Can the wrong size of catheter permanently cause urine leakage? I was in the ER last December because of kidney stones and ovarian cysts, and I needed an ultrasound, and I had a catheter put in to inflate my bladder. Now I have some leakage that was not there before.
Hi . I have read your question and will try to answer it. In my opinion it is not because of urinary catheter, as you mentioned you have a history of kidney stone and most of the times kidney stone is associated with urinary tract infect and vice versa. It is possible you have urinary tract infection I would advice to go for urinalysis if infection is found antibiotics may be needed. Once infection is controlled this urinary leakage will subside. BEST WISHES.
