SCIBladder management is one of the biggest day-to-day realities of SCI, and the frank, practical knowledge — which catheter people actually use, what cuts their UTIs, how often to change a suprapubic — mostly lives in conversations like this one.
Our guides cover the foundations: bladder management (IC, Foley, suprapubic, Botox, Mitrofanoff), UTIs and prevention (including D-mannose and the evidence), and changing a suprapubic catheter yourself. Add what's worked for you below.
