OK, I haven't been here for a while but could not do with some advice. I had my supra-pubic catheter taken about 10 weeks ago. It had been in place for 6 or 7 years. Of course, the hole left leaked a bit - well in half an hour my fromnt was soaked and I went shopping in the super market with a big box for the shopping covering up the mess.

Since then I have found better ways of managing and have been using disposable nappies in the day and terry ones at night. In fact the bladder is now working very well and I could manage with anything in the day by going every 2 hours but.... after 10 weeks the hole is still leaking. On the plus side it has virtually no smell -the old catheter used to leak around the hole ad it smelt bad. Anyway no one seems interested in fixing the hole so far.

So, any advice on how to get something done to close the hole or is it best to wait intil in seals up as the urologists seem to think it will. It is getting annoying and awkward to deal with.

Thanks for any suggestions
