Living with a urinary catheter

Overview

In this section you can find out about the experience of living with a urinary catheter by seeing and hearing people share their personal stories on film. Researchers travelled all around the UK to talk to 44 people (including 4 carers) in their own homes. Find out what people said about different types of catheters and issues such as urinary tract infections, travel and intimate relationships. We hope you find the information helpful and reassuring.
