Should a catheter bag be left on once a person can void himself as I believe it can do more damage and stop him from going back to normal urining himself?
The catheter should be removed only on the advice of a qualified medical professional. It's not up to you to decide what's best for someone else's medical condition - unless you're actually qualified to do so ! Even if you are, you should still leave the final decision to the patients physician !
