We are almost 2 months after RC. My husband is still getting used to the bag, but is doing very well, considering the 11 hrs surgery. So far no problems. My question to some of you having the bag. We went to the primary Care provider when my husband had the flu(temp of 102.4). He was diagnosed with the flu, but then they wanted a urine sample and dr said he had a UTI. Is a urine sample from the bag a clean sample? I don't want him to take antibiotics if it is not necessary. His surgery was done at the Mayo Clinic (6hrsfrom us), so we can't go there every time.
would love to hear from others about this. He had no other signs, no bad smelling or cloudy urine at all.
