Introduction to Self- Intermittent Catheterization
- Intermittent catheterization is the periodic emptying of the bladder by the insertion of a hollow plastic tube (catheter) into the urethra, past the sphincter muscles, and into the bladder. Urine then passes out of the bladder through the catheter.
- Intermittent catheterization is used when a person is unable to empty his bladder. Medical conditions that often require intermittent catheterization include spinal cord injuries, spina bifida, and multiple sclerosis, to name a few.
- Intermittent catheterization must be done at regular intervals each day to keep the bladder healthy.
- Your healthcare provider has recommended clean self-intermittent catheterization to help empty your bladder and keep your urinary system healthy.
How Often Should I Catheterize?
Your healthcare provider will let you know how often you will need to perform clean self-intermittent catheterization and the size of the catheter you will need. Normally, self-intermittent catheterization is performed every four hours starting when you wake up in the morning and continuing every four hours until bedtime. Some people catheterize on a more frequent schedule. Most people who catheterize do not need catheterization at night. Your healthcare provider will let you know if you need catheterization at night.
