Hello,
I have a mitrofanoff and I am very concerned about constant feelings of being unclean due to wetness from the mitrofanoff in between catheterising.
After self catheterising, I generally thoroughly clean out the mitrofanoff with water. Then I dry it and cover it with tissue. I find that the tissue almost always becomes wet when I check the mitrofanoff a short time afterwards. My question is that as the mitrofanoff is meant to be self-sealing, is the wetness from the outer part (the part that can be touched if I put my finger in the mitrofanoff)? My concern if the the wetness is actually coming from the channel beyond the outer site which self-seals between catheterisations.
Thanks.
