Sometimes due to certain medical issues, people are unable to pass their urine naturally. Not being able to pee for long periods can cause certain complications. Holding your urine for longer periods can make your bladder muscles weak. When people are unable to fully empty their bladder on their own, then a flexible tube that has a narrow opening is inserted in their bladder area, which helps them empty their bladder. This is required for people who suffer from certain medical issues or are in a long-term comma. <\/span>Catheter Care at Home in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah<\/b> offers its patients at-home services that help them with changing and placing their catheters for people who are unable to do this on their own or do not have any help.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

The function of a Urinary Catheter:<\/span><\/h2>\n

It becomes difficult for people to pass their urine on their own when they become bedridden, extremely sick, undergo surgical treatment, or are in a coma. Not being able to pass urine, or holding it in for long periods may cause many complications, in addition to making your bladder muscles weak. To help a person pass pee from their bladder a urinary catheter is used. This is a thin, flexible tube that is placed in your bladder through your urethra area. It helps empty your bladder, and you no longer have to hold your pee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
