Return to article: How to Cope With a Catheter
on 1/31/2006 Be sure to exercise your bladder muscles several times daily after your catheter has been removed. The muscles that enable you to hold your urine will have deteriorated significantly from inactivity. Squeeze/contract the muscle as tight as possible and count to 10. Repeat 5-10 times, relaxing for about 30 seconds between. Try to do this exercise 3-5 times daily for at least a couple of weeks after the catheter has been removed.
