For men with an enlarged prostate, a larger size catheter—typically 16 to 18 French (Fr)—is often recommended to help prevent blockage and facilitate easier drainage. Sometimes, a coudé-tipped catheter is also used because its curved tip can navigate around the enlarged prostate more effectively. Always consult a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate catheter size and type for individual needs.
