how to use urine bag for male - #21503

Simran

I am really struggling with figuring out how to use a urine bag for male patients. My dad recently had surgery and now he can't get out of bed easily, plus he's feeling really weak. The doctors gave us a urine bag for him to use at home, but honestly, I'm a bit lost on how to set it up properly. I mean, I've read some info online about how to use urine bag for male patients, but it all feels kinda confusing. Like, do I need to put it somewhere specific? And how can I make sure it won’t leak or cause any discomfort? He keeps saying he feels uncomfortable when I try to help him with it, and I just want him to feel better. What if I end up doing it wrong? I tried to look at some videos on YouTube but they just add to my anxieties! Are there any tips from doctors on how to use urine bag for male patients that would make it less stressful? How do I position it correctly, and how often should I check it? I don't wanna mess this up because it’s been hard enough trying to care for him as it is. Any advice would really help! Thanks!
