A member asked:
The top part/connection of the catheter tube (the silicone that connects the tip of the catheter to the long wire that directs the urine to the bag came off due to, i assume, the urine bag being full and the weight pulled it off. what shall i do?

Can you empty the bag and reconnect the tube to the bag? If not, you will need to call your doctor or go to the emergency room to have another catheter inserted. Best of luck to you!
