intermittent (straight) catheters

Are There Alternatives to Intermittent Catheters?

In some cases, alternatives to intermittent catheters may be considered:
Indwelling Catheters: These are left in place for an extended period and may be an option for patients who cannot manage intermittent catheterization.
Suprapubic Catheters: Inserted directly into the bladder through the abdomen, these catheters are another alternative for long-term use.
Medications: Certain medications may help improve bladder function and reduce the need for catheterization.
Pelvic Floor Therapy: Strengthening pelvic floor muscles can sometimes improve bladder control and reduce the need for catheterization.
