Section 9: Next Steps

​​​

What can I do next?

  • Learn as much as you can about intermittent self-catheterization (ISC). Read about it and ask questions.
  • Talk about ISC with your healthcare provider or clinic nurse (in person or over the phone). Make sure they answer all your questions.
  • Get some face to face training. Learn the right technique and how often to do it.
  • Once you have learned how to do intermittent self-catheterization from your healthcare provider, try it at home and practice. Do not attempt this without consulting your healthcare provider.
  • Keep practicing. Remember that it may take time to feel comfortable with ISC. ​
