Why A Condom Catheter May Simplify Incontinence For Men
12:47 pm
There are many men who suffer from incontinence. While there are a number of catheter systems available, many men choose to use a condom catheter for its ease of use and other benefits. The three primary choices of catheter systems are intermittent catheters, indwelling catheters and external catheters. Male external catheters are also known as condom catheters or Texas catheters. If you are a man who has the option of using any of these three systems, it may benefit you to consider an external catheter.
How does a condom catheter differ from the other two types of catheter systems? Indwelling catheters are inserted into the bladder for long-term use. This procedure can be painful, especially for men. Unfortunately, using this type of system makes a person more susceptible to urinary tract infection.
