My uncle is overweight and can't reach his penis to urinate, is there help(!


Question: My uncle is overweight and can't reach his penis to urinate, is there help(maybe device)?
My uncle is overweight, he cannot see or get a good grasp of his penis.
When he tries to urinate he wets himself or the area around him. And he refuses to sit down saying the urine just gets all over him.

I was wondering if there is a device (hopefully something that is just a tube) to help him, because right now he uses toilet tissue tubes and we're hoping there's something out there that he can have and carry around with him. Something reusable.

It's very embarassing for him and uncomfortable for those of us around him who have to deal with the aftermath of spillage and (huge)wet spots on his pants.

Answers:

There is such a device available, it's called a urinal. It is a plastic, hand held jug that he can urinate into, then empty into the toilet, and yes it is re-usable. You can find these at any pharmacy.



I would think the doctor who is treating him for his weight has seen this a lot. He should have several suggestions that he has seen other men use. But probably trying to wipe after a bowel movement is an even bigger problem. Is there a support group for weight management in your area who may be able to help him? That has to be difficult for all of you. Hope you find a solution soon.



He can sit down on what is commonly known as a 'commode' which will catch the urine & he will avoid embarrassment.
Why can't he lose weight so he can find his penis?
