My urethra was burned closed but my leaks came from the foley. Triple action antibiotic gel at opening helped.

Like the others, I believe Ditropan is probably your best bet. It was a little easier for me to deal with, because I can put a Texas catheter on the end of my penis. Good luck and welcome to the list.

I've been quadriplegic for nearly 27 years and recently had my plumbing changed from an indwelling Foley catheter to a suprapubic catheter. I've been experiencing a lot of problems with this and could use a bunch of good advice or information from others about this. The biggest problem I now have is incontinence from the urethra (where the Foley came out of me). Has anyone out there had similar problems and, if so, what did you learn or do to try regulating your system? The surgeon who worked on me is a total asshole and doesn't' provide help or guidance at all. I need help. Thanks, Barbara
