Will a catheter stop me going out or seeing friends?

Warm realistic scene of a black female caregiver in a navy 00072b tunic with e51974 piping sitting beside an older white male in his living room both smiling as they look over catheter care instructions together showing reassurance and trust in a homely setting.

Having a catheter does not have to stop you leaving the house or seeing the people you care about. With a bit of planning, you can travel, shop, visit friends or attend social groups. It may help to know where accessible toilets are, carry spare supplies and wear clothing that keeps the bag discreet. Our carers can provide companionship support in the community, joining you on trips, helping with bags and keeping an eye on tubing and drainage so you can focus on enjoying yourself rather than worrying.
