What can i do to stop stones from forming in my bladder or at least slow down the process? im a quadriplegic and have a foley catheter in at all times. over the years i have had several surgeries to remove stones from my bladder. some as big as golf balls

Placing : Placing a suprapubic catheter will not help with the stone formation. For patients with chronic indwelling catheters and bladder stones, i generally recommend irrigation with something called Renacidin up to three times a day. This is supposed to decreast the amount of stone formation and I have had patients with good results.
