Hi,

it sounds like the catheter is not draining the bladder properly.
- I assume you make sure the cath is not bent/kinked?
- how far is it in the bladder? Any chance it's in too far? What's your procedure for inserting it?

Some ?:
- how much leakage during spasm...a cup, a Tbsp?
- any leaks without pain?
- does the bag fill before spasm?
- what kind of neuro bladder...over or underactive detrusor? overactive sphincter I assume?
- how many mg detrol?
- is urine clear/cloudy, light/dark?
- what size cath, how many ml to inflate?
- how often is cath changed?
- when changing it, is there resistance?..any prostate problem?
