This video highlights the importance of Intermittent Catheterization (IC) for managing bladder pressure and preventing life-threatening complications like kidney damage or chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs). You will learn the clinical standard for frequency—typically 4 to 6 times daily—and the essential timing of emptying your bladder upon waking and before sleep. By following a consistent and sterile “clean procedure,” individuals with spinal cord injuries can prevent the accumulation of bacteria and maintain long-term urological health.
