A member asked:
Can i refuse foley catheters in hospital for non-urological surgery? i'm urinary incontinent and require diapers during hospitalisation, catheters will damage my traumatised urethra?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
it depends on the surgery. A foley gives information on urinary output which critical information depending on your procedure and your medical history and the length of your procedure
