Abstract：
When an individual has voiding difficulties, the person may require a urinary catheter. Enabling the person to choose an appropriate method of catheterisation and supporting them can have an enormous impact on the individual\'s health and wellbeing. Indwelling urethral catheters are suitable for some people but for others they can affect a person\'s lifestyle and lead to depression. Intermittent catheterisation can work well for some people. Intermittent self-catheterisation has been used to manage urinary retention for over 3500 years. It remains the \'gold standard\' in terms of bladder drainage, but it is under-used and indwelling catheters remain more common. This article examines the history of intermittent catheterisation, indications for self-catheterisation and how to support people to use self-catheterisation.
摘要：
当一个人有排尿困难时，患者可能需要导尿管。使患者能够选择合适的导管插入方法并为其提供支持可能会对个人的健康和福祉产生巨大影响。留置导尿管适用于某些人，但对另一些人来说，它们会影响一个人的生活方式并导致抑郁。间歇性导管插入术对某些人来说可以很好地工作。间歇性自我导尿已被用于控制尿retention留超过3500年。它仍然是膀胱引流的黄金标准，但它使用不足，留置导管仍然更常见。本文探讨了间歇性导尿的历史，自我导管插入的适应症以及如何支持人们使用自我导管插入。
