Urinary Tract Infection: Risk Factors. Persons with indwelling urinary catheters are at much higher risk of becoming sick with urinary tract infections. People with indwelling catheters have a 40x increased risk of becoming bacteremic (bacteria in the bloodstream) from a urinary infection than those who do not have catheters (1).
Sometimes, a doctor will insert the catheter into the bladder through a tiny hole in the abdomen. This type of indwelling catheter is known as a suprapubic catheter. A tiny balloon at the end of the catheter is inflated to prevent the tube from sliding out of the body.
