With long term internal foleys, over the last ten years, I've found I got Uti's within days of putting them in, and I take anti's whenever I use them anyway. My silver catheter, although it sound like *old school* took a bit of getting used to, but i've not had a UTI since I've had it for 3 months. I've just reached my 10 year post accident date this month. Bowels are at last almost sorted after 10 yrs struggle with meds and different systems. I now use the Coloplast irrigation system, which has cut my bathroom time from two hours to around 20 mins. TVT will be done this yr at stoke to help my bladder. If you are going the Foley route, Never go latex as you cant see if thy're blocked or not you end up doing more washouts, try asking for silicone or the bard one that contains silver. They dont like either, as they are expensive the bard one is about 25 quid! <BR/><BR/>Well thats my experience, I wish you luck, my first few years were hell for bladder and bowel, I hope you can sort yours out.<BR/><BR/> emma.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
