Hi

I have a suprapubic catheter and have lived with it for nearly 5 years now. Every now and again I get terrible pain with it, mainly pain around the site. It's the worst pain I have ever felt when I have it changed every 8 weeks.

Recently my catheter has started to turn green. I don't know why this has happened and currently in a lot of pain again at the site area. I'm just wondering if anyone can give me any idea of why it is turning green. I really am unsure why. I don't drink alcohol or hot drinks, only soft cold drinks. I don't use talc, creams of shower gels around my site.

PLEASE HELP PEOPLE, ITS DRIVING ME MAD

Hi,

Sorry to hear this.Unfortunately as we are not medically trained we are unable to give specific advice. I would see you GP or specialist as soon as you can to discuss it with them. I hope it gets resolved for you soon.

Best wishes,
