Questions about catheters and catheterisation?
Here you’ll find information about everyday life and comfort as a catheter user.
What is Intermittent Catheterisation (IC)?
Intermittent Catheterisation is a method used to empty the bladder in people with urinary retention. It involves inserting a catheter through the urethra 4–6 times a day to fully drain the bladder, after which the catheter is discarded. Regular emptying prevents infections that can start in the bladder and reach the kidneys.
What are the advantages of Intermittent Catheterisation?
IC helps reduce urinary infections by removing residual urine, supports better bladder control, and can be done safely outside the hospital. It promotes independence, protects the upper urinary tract, and improves daily comfort, sexual health, and quality of life.
Why choose a hydrophilic catheter for IC?
Hydrophilic catheters provide smoother, safer insertion, reduce friction-related trauma, require no preparation, and offer evidence-backed reductions in complications—making them a more comfortable and convenient option.
How often should I self-catheterise?
Around 4–6 times a day, or as recommended by your doctor or nurse. You should catheterize as often as needed to empty your bladder, similar to how a normally functioning bladder would work.
What size of catheter should I use?
It is important to use the correct catheter type and size. Your healthcare professional will help you choose the most suitable option based on your individual needs.
What should I do if I can’t insert the catheter?
If you have tried and failed, do not worry or panic. Try to relax and wait for a minute before trying again. You may find it helpful to take a warm bath or shower before catheterising again. If you still cannot insert the catheter, contact your healthcare professional for advice.
How much should I drink during the day?
You should drink around 1.5–2 liters of fluid per day. The color of your urine can help indicate whether you are drinking enough. Light-colored urine usually means you are well hydrated.
