A member asked:
Is there anything that you should or shouldn't do when having a bowel movement with an urinary catheter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BM and catheter: When cleaning up after the BM, be sure to wipe the anal area from front to back in an effort to keep fecal matter away from the vagina and urethra. Always wash the labia and urethral area going from top downward.
