FAQs

Can I take a shower with a drainage tube?

This depends on your tube type and wound condition. Our nurses will assess your situation and show you how to maintain personal hygiene safely using waterproof dressings.

How do I spot a potential catheter infection?

Please watch for redness, swelling, heat, or pain around the insertion site. Note if the drainage or urine becomes cloudy or foul-smelling. Contact us or your attending physician immediately if you observe any of these symptoms.

How often should a urinary catheter be changed?

Frequency varies from weeks to months, depending on the catheter material and your doctor's clinical advice. Our team will establish a suitable, safe replacement schedule for you.
