We always put 10cc in mine also......10cc is not a large size and less can get pulled out easier, My doc said a 10cc can hold 12cc easily with no problems if one desires a bit more in it. Dan

I think my doctor decreased the water to 6 cc because I was having bladder spasms. The doctor prescribed Detrol for the spasms, but I never took it. Five days later, I pulled my catheter out by mistake and had to go to the emergency room. My husband and I were out of town at the time and had to actually find a hospital. My urologist said I had to get there within two hours. Once at the hospital, they replaced my catheter and put 10 cc of water in the balloon. I haven't had any problems since. Now I wonder if they were putting more than 10 cc of water in . Naomi
