The goal of this observational qualitative study is to learn about the experiences and perspectives of patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) and their caregivers regarding different types of intravesical instillations used for urinary health. The study aims to understand the perceived benefits, challenges, and opportunities related to Lactobacillus-only, gentamicin-only, and combined gentamicin-Lactobacillus instillations. The main question this study seeks to answer is: 1\.
