Peeing with a suprapubic catheter

Posted , 2 users are following.

I've had a suprapubic catheter for three weeks . No problems. However, when I tried to have a bowel movement I was suddenly able to pee in the normal, "non-catheter" way. Is this a problem? Thanks.

    Seems normal to me , the surgeon that gave you the catheter would of warned you if anything was going to be a problem. Time heals.

    No its alright. Its good that you can pee as normal, it shows that the device is working well.
