Will A Catheter Help A Patient Suffering From Frequent Urinary Incontinence?
My husband just came home from Hospice. He had a catheter while he was in Hospice. The problem is, he gets up frequently to urinate, but often can t make it to the bedside toilet, which results in him wetting himself and his pajamas. He gets up anywhere from 4-5 times nightly, which interrupts his sleep and mine. Would something like this help him?
