You should call the doctor who placed the catheter as it sounds like you may have the beginning of a wound infection and you don’t want this to worsen. This may require antibiotics to treat. The redness and pus are concerning. So, call your doctor-there is always someone on call for this type of issue. Good luck!

A ctheter should drain at all time . Grease is not used to put it in- it is a water soluble jelly. Pl call your surgeon rightaway or go to the ER Good luck
