6.3 – Using ISC to self-manage bladder dysfunction

Please note that as of 6th June 2023, the Association for Continence Advice (ACA) has now changed its name to the Association for Continence Professionals (ACP). Some of the videos included in this module will still have the ACA branding, and we can confirm that these videos are still current.

Intermittent self catheterisation (ISC) can be used to self-manage bladder dysfunction.

In Module 1, you met ‘Anne’ who has multiple sclerosis and lives with both urinary and faecal incontinence.

In this video, ‘Anne’ explains how she uses ISC to successfully manage her neurogenic bladder dysfunction.
