Will a catheter stop me leaving the house 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.

A catheter doesn’t have to mean staying at home. With a bit of planning, most people can continue with many of their usual activities. Leg bags are designed to fit discreetly under clothing, and regular emptying before going out reduces the chance of leaks. We can help you practise moving, sitting and walking with the bag in a comfortable position, and support short trips at first to build confidence. Our carers can also provide support on outings and social visits if you’d like someone nearby who understands what to do if the catheter needs attention, helping you feel safer and more relaxed.
