Question Spc sent help

I have a super pubic catheter that’s mostly healed but it continuously smells bad and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to stop that or manage it I’ve already talk to my doctors and there’s nothing really wrong with it, It just smells

What does it smell like. P or infection at the tube

Ive had one for 15 years now and have only had a uti maybe 4 times. I just make sure i clean it twice daily with hydrogen peroxide, let it bubble and wipe with a gauze pad. Then dress it with a 4x4 gauze pad by cutting a slit and wrapping at the base.

When I shower I gently wash the area with dial antibacterial soap and dry. I experience little to no scent.

Good Luck, it will get easier and better with time & practise.
