Can a person catch any kind of disease from urine in a catheter bag?

Yes, a person can potentially catch diseases from urine in a catheter bag, primarily if the urine is contaminated with bacteria or pathogens. While urine from a healthy person is typically sterile, the catheterization process can introduce bacteria, leading to urinary tract infections (UTIs) or other complications. Proper hygiene and care in handling catheter bags are essential to minimize the risk of infection. It’s important for individuals with catheters to follow medical guidelines and maintain good sanitation practices.
