[Ya Diggg!]

I catherized at 10am and got out 200cc. The catheter stops draining i had nothing else to drink this morning. I drink nothing else and at 1230pm I am soaked. I didnt take my ditropan because i was changing the time i was going to take my ditropan. What is the best time I should take my ditropan. Because i thinkthats the reason im wet beause i drunk nothing and I can hold up to 400cc and up to 4 hours. Help

Hi,

If before you started taking the ditropan you were having issues with incontinence- well it could very well be the case.

However also could be something else.

I know that occasionally I will have the 'flow' stop when I am cathing and I feel a spasm sort of pull against it. When that happens I try and allow my sphincter ( what is locking onto the catheter) to relax and then I withdraw slowly a bit and the flow will start again. I also wait a lil whilst withdrawing as it helps with the angle of the 'eyes' on them.

However this is not large volumes...

Another thing I am thinking is that some sediment or something is blocking the 'eye' or holes of the catheter and making it seem like you are empty..

Also, do you take "diuretics" ( water tablets) or meds which list that as a side effect?

I have the opposite issue and hold on far too long to my pee but don't leak...

Maybe one for your Urologist? I hope you find the answer..

Take care,

K
