Your urine is "hot" for six hours after it is installed. While bleach is the standard disinfectant, I did OK with Lysol. This may be more friendly to your septic system. I made sure that any clothing that had contact / or may have had contact with the urine was bagged and washed separately and in hot water. I was able to hold it in my bladder for two hours because I requested that the catheter be kept in for the duration and I then unblocked it when I peed it out at home. I applied Baby diaper cream to the area to prevent irritation.

2nd procedure today. Urethra dilated again. This time WILL be different post-op because of your advice. I did ask about catheter staying in after BCG. No problem for our MD.
I requested (frequently )pre and post op for an overnight catheter bag to make him more comfortable and to enable me to empty it much more efficiently. Done. 🙂
What I didn’t realize was that if the pathology comes back negative, he will be getting BCG once a week for 6 weeks. So, in anticipation of that, please advise us on the clean-up process for bathroom assuming he keeps the catheter in till we get home to prevent an “accident”! BCG contains TB bacillus. I understand it is not “active” TB. Do I need to take special precautions due to my asthma and his COPD? Looking forward to hearing from you and others about everything related to
Non-invasive HIGH GRADE T1 Bladder Cancer. Thank you so much.
