A male catheter is generally not suitable for female use due to differences in anatomy. Male catheters are designed to fit the male urethra, which is longer and has a different shape than the female urethra. For females, a specific female catheter is recommended to ensure proper fit and comfort, as well as to minimize the risk of complications such as urinary tract infections. Always consult a healthcare professional for the appropriate type of catheter.
