A member asked:
Could someone with no medical education do a catheterization?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
With training, yes.: Are you talking about catheterization of the bladder for urinating? Then yes, with instruction, it can be done by the patient or people who care for them. It certainly should not be done without training! Following proper technique is important too, to avoid causing damage or introducing infection.
