Search here if you cannot see your town or postcode - Why do I need a catheter?
There are multiple reasons why you may have been given a catheter, whether it was an inability to pass urine or another health related issue. Working alongside your clinical team, our Care Professionals can work out a care plan to suit your needs.
- How will a catheter impact my daily life?
Having a urinary or suprapubic catheter in place shouldn’t affect your normal day to day activities too much, allowing you to take part in gentle exercise and household tasks if you are feeling well. It is however recommended not to drive with a urinary catheter in place. If you feel you need assistance with your daily life, our experienced Care Professionals are available.
- What are the risks of having a catheter?
There are a few risks in using catheters, primarily they can increase the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs), bladder spasms and urinary blockages. To minimise these risks catheters are inserted using aseptic technique and the patient will have the catheter removed as soon as possible. Our Care Professionals are trained in dealing with catheters and informing your clinical team of any issues that arise. .
