Patient's question:
My husband had a major surgery a few days ago, and as part of the procedure, the doctor inserted a urinary catheter into his prostate. After the catheter was inserted, my husband kept saying he was in pain. He was sweating profusely, and I couldn't help but feel very heartbroken seeing him like that. So I wanted to ask you, doctor, what should I do if I'm in pain after a prostate catheter insertion?Doctor's answer:
This could be due to infection or incorrect positioning of the catheter. It is recommended to remove the catheter or reinsert it. It is also advisable to take oral anti-inflammatory medication to prevent infection. If the pain is too severe, it is abnormal, and it is best to seek treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Pay attention to maintaining local hygiene to prevent infection. For prostate patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated promptly, it may affect overall health.
