Hi

Was the inflation port cut for removing the water?

Did the urologist used syringe to withdraw water from baloon?

Is cathether still inserted?

The catheter is still inserted. I don't think the inflation port was cut. A syringe was used to withdraw water

I am not sure if the inflation port was cut. I don't know what the inflation port is. How can I tell?

Hi

As syringe was used to withdraw water from baloon, That means inflation port is still there.

Inflation port is the connector between baloon and cathether. If we cut that , the pressure will be relaeased , and then cathether can come out.

Dont try this at home.

Consult Other urologist.

Thanks

All The Best.
