Nephrostomy with bladder leakage

Left kidney removed.  Right kidney has nephrostomy tube.  Urine is flowing into the nephrostomy bag as usual but now my bladder is leaking.  What is causing this?  Went to clinic and urine tested positive for bacteria, put on antibiotic, finished antibiotic and urine is still leaking into my bladder and expelling through urethra.  Why??
