urine bag male how to use - #18458

Ananya

I am kinda confused and need some help with using a urine bag male—like, how to use it properly? My dad had surgery last week, and he's supposed to use a urine bag for a bit since he can't get up much right now. The hospital showed me how to put it on, but I just want to make sure we’re doing it right, you know? I mean, like, he can't really communicate that well, and I don’t wanna mess things up. The urine bag male needs to be pretty secure. I noticed the first time he used it, it leaked a little, and that freaked me out because I don’t want him to get any infections or anything. Should I be changing it daily? Is there a specific way to clean it before applying a new one? I have a small house and his room smells when the urine bag's not sealed right. Super worried it’ll get worse! Are there things I should definitely avoid when using a urine bag male? Sometimes I feel like I'm overthinking this, but I just want him to be comfy and healthy, like, no complications! Any tips or tricks would be really appreciated!
