You are giving urine coming out of the stoma? If so, you might need to put more fluid in the bulb.

FW: [QUAD-L] Bladder control - using a suprapubic catheter
I couldn't say medically but kept me from having to manage urine from the bladder and Supra Pubic. Some place after the bladder was closed off. All came in one unexpected packaged deal getting the SP. I was imagining having one tube to one bag on each exit. Glad I was wrong there.

RE: [QUAD-L] Bladder control - using a suprapubic catheter
When they do your care or change catheters make sure they clean and keep it all sterile and of course drink a lot... I have a suprapubic catheter as well and I still get infections all the time..

Re: [QUAD-L] Bladder control - using a suprapubic catheter
You need to get Ditropan XL. Your urethea still works. It was not closed off. The Ditropan has stopped the leaking spasms that i was having. Welcome to the group. I have Multiple Sclerosis only have use of my right arm.
Re: [QUAD-L] Bladder control - using a suprapubic catheter
Dear Barbara, It is hard for most people to understand, but if Urologists had a personality they would be OB/GYN's. So, ask Doc Charming, when he's done pretending he is House, could he give you a prescription for Ditropan. Increase your own dosage if you still get spasms. Make sure you have blood pressure meds because a full bladder can send you into stroke territory. I take Atenelol, but I have heart problems and you must take this daily. There are meds from the 50's that slam your BP down while you correct the cause. I just take another Atenelol. The old meds (if I could remember the name I'd die happy.) are great if you don't have chronic hypertension or heart problems. My point in saying this is that you don't want to take meds that mask your problem.
