A member asked:

I have a catheter and constantly have the urge to pee even though there is pee in the bag. is this how it's supposed to feel or is there something wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Catheter : It depends largely on why you have an indwelling catheter. Catheters themselves are irritating. Conditions requiring catheters such as acute utis also cause irritative symptoms. See a urologist for complete evaluation.
