Now have a pigtail suprapubic catheter. can utis be stopped?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Having any foreign object in a body cavity connected to the outside causes bacteria to grow in and around it and there is no way to prevent it. If there are no other symptoms it is not a UTI. UTI will be if you have fever/ chills etc.
