FAQ's
How Often Should I Catheterize My Child?
Your healthcare provider will let you know how often your child will need to be catheterized and the size of the catheter you should use. Normally, intermittent catheterization is performed every four hours starting when your child wakes up in the morning and continues every four hours until bedtime. Some children are catheterized on a more frequent schedule. Most children who are catheterized do not need catheterization at night. Your healthcare provider will let you know if your child needs catheterization at night. For school age children, it is important to maintain their catheterization schedule throughout the school day. The school nurse will be able to assist your child if necessary.
Can My Child Be Taught Clean Self-Intermittent Catheterization?
If your child shows interest in learning the procedure and has good hand dexterity, flexibility and coordination, he may be able to learn to routinely perform catheterization. Even though most children can easily learn the procedure, it is very important that parents supervise their children’s catheterizations to make sure they are adequately emptying their bladders and using the proper technique. Research has shown that when children are completely left to catheterize themselves without supervision, some of the technical steps are often missed, resulting in urinary incontinence and urinary tract infections.
