Are you more likely to get uti if nursing home aides put adult diapers on you 24/7?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
UTI: The absorbent garments are helpful to prevent skin infections and breakdown . Females are at more risk than males in a garment but if they are changed regularly the risk minimally elevated compared to that with a catheter.
