Interventions
Self-catheterization
Participants will perform self-catheterization, following the same routine for intermittent catheterization at home
Catheterization performed by urology nurse, participant blinded to time of procedure
Participant will undergo procedure to completely empty bladder; Participant in supine position, and resting blood pressure and heart rate will be recorded for period of 5 minutes prior to catheterization; Perineum and genital areas will be draped and they will be not aware about exact timing of catheterization Catheterization will be conducted following standard clinic procedure by experience urology nurse.
