INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Catheters are used for a variety of conditions, so ask your doctor if there are any alternatives available for your specific medical issue. Sometimes, long-term catheter use is necessary and there are no alternatives. If this is the case, proper care and cleaning of your catheter can help prevent UTIs. Long-term catheter use greatly increases the risk of recurrent UTIs. Wash your hands and wet a clean washcloth with soap and warm water. Hold the catheter tube and carefully wash the end near your vagina or penis. Take care not to tug it as you slowly clean down the tube away from your body, then dry it with a clean cloth. Always wash the catheter away from your body. Cleaning it from the bottom toward your body increases the risk of infection. Wash your hands again when you're finished. Wash your hands, wet a clean washcloth with soap and warm water, then gently wipe the area where the catheter enters your urethra. If you're a woman, wipe away from the urethra from front to back. If you're a man, wipe from the tip of the penis down the shaft. Continue to wipe your groin area with the soapy cloth. Rinse the soap away with a stream of water or wet washcloth, then dry yourself thoroughly with a clean cloth. Wash your hands again when you're finished. Open the bag's spout or clamp and pour the contents into a toilet or the receptacle your doctor or nurse provided. Clean the spout with a cotton ball or swab soaked in rubbing alcohol, close the spout, then attach the bag to your leg fastener. Keep the bag below your waist at all times. Be aware of the tube's position as you pour, and make sure it doesn't twist or tug. Take care not to get urine on your hands as you pour. Wash your hands after draining the bag. Attach the drainage bag to a leg fastener, and never hold it above your waist when you're emptying or cleaning it. Holding it above your bladder level can cause urine to re-enter your urinary tract.

SUMMARY: Talk to your doctor about minimizing catheter use. Clean your catheter twice daily if you have one. Clean the skin around your catheter at least once a day. Empty the bag every 8 hours or whenever it's half-full. Keep the catheter bag lower than your waist at all times.

This is the easiest and fastest method of removing an eyelash. Splashing your eyes with water can cause the eyelash to simply be rinsed out with the water. Mineral and bottled water is ideal as it's more sterile than tap water. You can use tap water if you don't have mineral or bottled available. Cup your hands, catch some water in them, and splash into open eyes. It is okay to blink when the water touches your eye. Repeat several times if necessary until the eyelash is gone. This is another, slightly gentler way to rinse out the eyelash using water. Use mineral or bottled water if you have it. Pour water into a large bowl. Slowly lower your face, with open eyes, into the water until the liquid touches your eyes. If you feel the urge to blink when your eyes touch the water, do so. All that matters is that the liquid touches your eye. The eyelash should then wash out into the bowl. Repeat several times if necessary until the eyelash is gone. Saline, like mineral water, is more sterile than tap water and safer for the eye. Take an eyedropper and fill it with saline solution. While keeping your eyes open, pour a few drops directly into the open eye. Hopefully, the eyelash washes right out. Repeat if necessary. Many saline solutions come in small bottles with a squirt head. If this is the case, you don't have to use an eyedropper. Simply lift the bottle and pour a few drops into your eye. Blink and if necessary, repeat several times until the eyelash is washed out.
