What are the Benefits of Intermittent Catheterization?
Intermittent catheterization offers several benefits: - Reduced Risk of Infection: Unlike indwelling catheters, intermittent catheters do not stay in place, which reduces the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). - Improved Quality of Life: Patients have more control over their bladder management, leading to improved quality of life. - Less Bladder Irritation: Intermittent catheters are less likely to cause bladder irritation compared to long-term catheters.
