Changing how you eliminate urine from your bladder can be a big deal. There are new tools, new rules and a lot of things to learn. In our catheter section, we hope to provide answers to the many questions you may have. This may include guiding you through the process of learning about catheters, helping you feel more comfortable with the method that has been recommended by your doctor, or helping to troubleshoot any issues you may encounter. In this section you can find articles about male external catheters and finding the right fit, articles about how to self-catheterize with an intermittent catheter, and best practices when using an indwelling catheter, for both the patient and the healthcare professional.
