What type of catheter is best for a 26-year-old male with neurogenic bladder and diabetes to ease pain?
I am 26 years old male. I have type 1 diabetes. I was diagnosed with neurogenic bladder two years ago. I was put on alfluozin and Betheran tablet and was advised to do catherisation. Still now, I am unable to use catheter because of fear of being injured. Recently the doctor has asked me to stop these medicines and asked me to do catherisation instead. Which kind of catheter would be best which can be helpful to ease off pain? What precautions should be taken while using catheter?
