Response to viewer request...Ooolala! Fun terms to discuss on urinary system:

Urine
Chronic renal failure

Dialysis
Indwelling catheter
"Indwelling" means inside your body. This catheterdrains urine from your bladder into a bag outside your body. Common reasons to have an indwelling catheter are urinary incontinence (leakage), urinary retention (not being able to urinate), surgery that made this catheter necessary, or another health problem.Feb 21, 2017
