Core Tip

Core Tip: Existing treatments for neurogenic bladder mainly include surgery and drugs, but they all damage the patient's mental health to varying degrees. Intermittent catheterization not only helps to maintain bladder compliance, protect kidney function, and speed up recovery, but also helps to improve the patient's ability to live and reduce psychological burden and negative emotions.
