Men’s urinary catheterization to be lubricated also needs to be performed by a healthcare professional.
When performing catheterization, lubricant is applied in order to make the catheter smooth, reduce resistance when the catheter enters the bladder, and minimize the impact on the urethra, so no matter whether it is for men’s urinary tract intubation or for women’s urinary tract intubation, lubricant needs to be applied to the surface of the catheter.
When inserting the catheter, it is necessary to disinfect the instrument and the patient’s urethra, otherwise it may be due to the growth of bacteria, so that the patient will have a urinary tract infection, affecting the health of the patient’s urinary system. When inserting a catheter for men, it is necessary to use the lying position, and the action should be gentle, not violent.
If a man wears a catheter, he needs to be careful not to let the urine bag exceed the bladder area to avoid affecting the urine discharge, and not to press or pull the catheter when moving.
