The purpose of indwelling catheterization

The purpose of indwelling catheterization is to solve the problem of being unable to urinate. It should not be used for people with urinary tract obstruction, comatose patients, surgical patients, etc.

1. Patients with urinary tract obstruction: In case of urinary tract obstruction, patients may not be able to urinate normally, and will also experience pain during urination and a significant decline in the quality of life. Going to the urology department of a regular medical institution to place a catheter to drain the urine from the bladder in time can alleviate the patient's pain.

2. Comatose patients: Comatose patients have no consciousness of urinating, and the inability to urinate may lead to urine retention. A urinary catheter can be placed to record the urine output.

3. Patients undergoing surgery: Routine examinations are required before various surgeries, and a urinary catheter needs to be placed in a timely manner. This is mainly because the patient is under anesthesia during the operation, and basically cannot urinate normally before waking up. By placing a urinary catheter, normal urination function can be restored.

There are many reasons for indwelling catheterization. It helps urine to be discharged smoothly from body temperature. Generally, after indwelling catheterization, the cleanliness of the urethral opening should be observed in time to reduce adverse stimulation of the urethral opening, so as to avoid the risk of infection of the urethral opening tissue, which will have a great impact on the health of the urethra. The urethral opening should also be cleaned in time with warm water.
