This article reviews intermittent self-catheterisation (ISC) in women, including the advantages and disadvantages of the procedure. It will also discuss barriers that patients may face when learning to perform ISC and how healthcare professionals can support patients in overcoming any difficulties. Finally, the article will address common complaints and concerns of patients who regularly perform ISC and suggests how these can be prevented or improved.
