I think a catheter could help me. What steps do I need to take?

If you think a catheter could help with your bladder problems, it is important to discuss this with a medical professional first. Together, you can determine exactly what the problem is and which solution is best for you. A catheter is always part of a personal treatment plan. By following the right steps, you can be sure that you are choosing a solution that suits your situation and lifestyle.

You can take the following steps:

• Make an appointment with your GP: discuss your symptoms and explain what you are experiencing, such as difficulty urinating or the feeling that your bladder is not emptying completely.
• Possible referral to a specialist: if your GP cannot determine the cause of your symptoms, you will usually be referred for additional tests at the hospital.
• Examination by a specialist: this is often a urologist or neurologist, but it can also be another specialist. Together, you will map out your symptoms and determine which treatment or solution is appropriate.
• Advice and guidance: you can get advice and information from your GP, the specialist at the hospital or a rehabilitation doctor. They will guide you in making the right choice and in the process that follows.
