Experiences after the removal of a Foley catheter
Posted , 7 users are following.
I have had a Foley catheter fitted for 4 weeks (changed once) and it was removed today. I now feel like a human being again!!! The doctor says that there might be some incontinence problems for a few days, but I am more worried about getting back into a normal peeing routine. Any experiences on the latter point? Thanks!

I've been told that Kegel exercises will help if you have trouble peeing at first. Also it takes a while for the bladder to readjust so it probably won't get back to normal for a while. Did doc receommend you try to hold it if you have frequent urges ?

I was on a Foley Catheter for "4 Months" due to not being able to Void/Pee after a Lung Cancer operation... After 4 months and finally passing a Void Retention Test, the foley was removed..Presently, I've been off the foley for ~ 2 months and my Peeing has started to return to "normal"....Before, I had frequency problems, having to Pee 3-4 times per night and 5-6 times per day otherwise.Presently, I Void ~ 2 times per night and 4 times during the day otherwise..Pretty normal for a 72 year old man...GOOD LUCK!.......
