Hi Dan, I had a Supra Pubic for about fifteens years and I change it every month, I have tried going long but it ends up getting blocked up. Therefore, my recommendation would be to change it at the first of every month. Also I use a 24 french if that any help.

Breezy, Keith, the dude that had to move to a nursing home when his parents were no longer able to take care of him, many more i can't think of right now - what happened to them? Anyhoo, I've just been introduced to a Supra Pubic - graduated from a Foley. The more I deal with Urologists, the more incompetent they seem to be. My first Uro said to change it every 3 months - #18 French. After 2 and 1/2 months I called him to say that something was wrong. I was passing very little urine and what I was passing was very clear - not junky as usual. Worse part, my abdomen was extremely distended and if I strained to have a bowel movement, I would pass urine through my penis! He said -'that's odd. I'll have a look........next week!?!' The next day I was in the emergency room with a blocked cath and they couldn't remove it because it had been it so long it had collected deposits on the end of the cath that wouldn't let it pass through the stoma. Back in goes the Folely. My new uro says - 'never go longer than 1 month between changes'. Have you SP's out there ever experienced anything like this? Dan -- No virus found in this incoming message.
