This session debunks 10 common myths surrounding intermittent catheterization (IC) for individuals with female genitalia, featuring insights from clinical experts and peers with lived experience. You will learn that IC is a tool for independence that can be performed in various settings—such as a wheelchair or public washroom—without needing to be lying down or undressed. By clarifying misconceptions about UTIs, anatomical differences, and “male” vs. “female” equipment, the course demonstrates that proper technique and familiarity with one’s body can prevent pain, protect kidney health, and support an active lifestyle.
