Steps for Using a Male Catheter

Male incontinence is something that a lot of guys have trouble with, especially when they get older.  This can be because of problems with their prostate or other problems. A lot of men are embarrassed about their incontinence problems, but the good news is that there are things that can be done about It and stop the embarrassing accidents that they have.

For men who have trouble controlling their bladder, most of the times they will require a male catheter. This is a device that funnels the urine into a bag and keeps the patient from embarrassing accidents. The male catheter is put on and used very similar to the way a condom is applied and used.  Here are the steps for using a condom catheter that men should follow every time they have to use one.

The first thing that you should do is to thoroughly wash as well as dry yourself off before you apply the catheter. If your body’s still wet, you won’t be able to apply it properly.

Next you will take the catheter out of the package and slightly unroll it to remove a groove or notch. Then you reroll it again.

Then slide the catheter on your penis until your penis head fits into the catheter’s cone without touching the bubble.

Remove the catheter’s adhesive sheath before squeezing it up against the penis. This is going to stick it and therefore prevent leakage.

Take your leg back and put the straps through it. Put the bag on the inner part of one leg and tighten the straps to ensure that it’s going to be secure.

Connect t he tubing to the bag’s tip. This is done by pushing the tube all the way into the bag’s valve. Then repeat this step with the catheter’s end.

A condom catheter is one of the more comfortable catheters to use and they are also very easy for men to use. They are something that feels much like a condom and they don’t have to worry about leaks and accidents when they are wearing one, if they put it on the right way.  Using the steps above to put one on, you will find that it’s not hard and that it doesn’t take long. Once it is on, you can go about your business and lead a perfectly normal life. Since the bag is hidden under the clothes, no one will know.
