Stick to your schedule
It’s easy to get carried away when you’re involved in sports – especially when you’re about to win or you're in good company! Set yourself a reminder so you don’t forget to do intermittent catheterisation. Think about where you’ll be doing your activity and plan when you can visit the bathroom so it doesn’t get in the way.
Catheterise before the activity
Whatever you decide to do, catheterise right before your start, as this will minimise the risk of leakages.
Remember to drink
Bladder issues and the insecurity of not being at home might make you want to drink less. But if you sweat more or the weather is hot, you will need to drink even more to replace lost fluids. Take small sips and plan your catheterisations.
