What are the recommendations for retraining the bladder with a foley catheter before discontinuing the catheter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Foley plug: Ask your doctor for a plug to cap the catheter so your bladder can fill up. When you get the urge to pee, unplug the Foley into the toilet. This is called bladder cycling.
