UTI risk factors:

What is a UTI?

 

A urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs when harmful bacteria enter the bladder, multiply and then attack the bladder wall1. Some people are more prone to UTIs than others, but catheter users are particularly vulnerable. Your risk of infection is higher, and your symptoms may also be more severe. 

Top tips for avoiding a urinary tract infection:

  • Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before catheterisation.
  • Clean the area around the urethral opening as instructed by your healthcare provider.
  • Don’t touch the area around the urethra with the catheter before insertion.
  • Don’t let the catheter touch your hands, clothes or skin.
  • After a bowel movement, wipe from front to back to avoid transferring bacteria to the urethra.
