.....Dont know if this is in the right area.........sorry if it wrong.
My dad (im 24/7 carer) is 91 and had a catheter for close to 7 years (Foley) off and on we have had bad by-pass in the last few years and blockage through Debris but this is not the case in this situation so my question is.
Nothing comes in the dads bag when sitting in his chair all day very rare and 100% not blocked it just leaks all day.
On the bed and still leaks but then some comes in the bag around 3 hours then i get a good litre or litre and half all night.
Drinks 1.5L water/orange juice and 3 teas all day.
Nurses knows and doctor ect but leaking is not classed as an emergency being there is no retention being its leaking.
Does anyone on here know and advice or have the same problem,i have put it down to weak bladder muscles and positioning
as it will still leak even if it comes into the bag.
