Does any women have a supra pubic cath instead of a foley and which way do they feel is best?

A foley catheter is inserted thru your urethra and is designed to be a outlet for your urine. Most foleys only stay in a few days due to increased risk of infection. If a person loses the ability to pee, they can straight cath themselves several times a day. A suprapubic catheter is a surgical procedure where the foley is inserted thru the skin into the bladder. This is a permanent drain and used only for genital emergencies (trauma) and neurovascular loss.
