A patient with a suprapubic catheter typically should not be able to urinate through the urethra, as the catheter is placed directly into the bladder, bypassing the normal urinary pathway. The purpose of the suprapubic catheter is to allow for urine drainage when urethral catheterization is not possible or advisable. However, if urine is being passed through the urethra, it may indicate a complication, such as a blockage or improper catheter placement, and should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.

Should you feel the urge to urinate while on catheter?
Yes, it is normal to feel the urge to urinate while on a catheter, especially if the catheter is not draining the bladder completely or if it is a temporary catheter.

A Foley catheter should be placed in the bladder via the urethra. The catheter's balloon is then inflated to keep it securely in place within the bladder. Proper sterile technique is essential during insertion to minimize the risk of infection. It is important to ensure that the catheter is appropriately sized for the patient and that it is positioned correctly to facilitate drainage.
What should you do if you are not able to urinate after catheter has been removed?
If you are unable to urinate after a catheter has been removed, first try to relax and give yourself some time, as it may take a little while for normal function to resume. Drink plenty of fluids to encourage urination. If you still cannot urinate after several hours, or if you experience pain, discomfort, or swelling, contact your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

When positioning a patient with an indwelling catheter, ensure they are in a comfortable, supine or semi-reclined position to promote drainage and minimize discomfort. The catheter bag should be placed below the level of the bladder to prevent backflow and reduce the risk of infection. Additionally, ensure the tubing is secured to the leg to prevent tugging and maintain a straight pathway for urine flow. Always maintain patient privacy and dignity during positioning and care.
What medical reason to stop inserting a indwelling catheter?
An indwelling catheter should be stopped if there is evidence of a urinary tract infection (UTI), as continuing use can exacerbate the infection and lead to further complications. Additionally, if there are signs of urethral injury or severe discomfort in the patient, catheterization should be halted. Other reasons include the patient's recovery of normal urination, potential allergic reactions to the catheter material, or the presence of blood in the urine indicating possible trauma.
