Does catheterization or urodynamics cause bladder infections?

Catheterization performed carefully and in a clean fashion should not cause bladder infection. Short-term catheterization, as is the case for urodynamics, is much less likely to cause infection than is a catheter left in to drain the bladder for several days.
