The experienced healthcare team at Vitachem handles intermittent catheterization on a daily basis, with scheduled appointments on the days and times that are most convenient for the patient.
Intermittent catheterization is recommended in cases where urination is impossible, problematic, or partial, ensuring complete bladder emptying from residual urine.
Intermittent catheterization is a simple procedure in which a catheter is inserted into the urethra at regular intervals to empty the bladder. In intermittent catheterization, the catheter is removed after the bladder is fully emptied, unlike in permanent catheterization, where the catheter remains in the patient continuously.
It is of utmost importance that urine does not remain in the bladder for extended periods, as this promotes the growth of bacteria and the occurrence of infections. Additionally, in the case of an overfilled bladder, damage to the upper urinary system can occur due to the backflow of urine towards the kidneys.
