Intermittent catheters and self-catheterizing
Wondering whether intermittent catheters and self-catheterizing will be difficult for you? Since all catheters are made with latex-free products, there is no fear of contracting skin allergies, however, you are advised to use only medical-grade water-based lubricants for lubricating the catheter before usage. You should also clean and dry them thoroughly and store them in a hygienic place and discard the catheter if it turns cloudy. While self-catheterizing, you should wash your hands and wipe them dry with a clean cloth before starting the process. If there is a mild pain in the urinary tract or fever, you should always consult your physician as there is always a chance of contracting a urinary tract infection. Doctors also prescribe a diet chart as well as advise on the liquid intake. Life becomes easy when you choose the right type of catheters for self-catheterizing and take precautions accordingly.
