Patient's question:
Doctor, I have prostatitis and am currently being treated at the hospital. However, I find it difficult to use the restroom and need a catheter inserted into my urethra. Is there any way to make it easier for me to defecate? Because I don't think the current method is very effective. Hello, is it possible to have a catheter inserted into the urethra for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, during the treatment period for prostatitis, it is possible to insert a ureteral catheter based on the condition of symptoms. Pay attention to adjusting your emotions and inhibiting them, maintain good personal hygiene, focus on symptomatic treatment according to your condition, and undergo regular and thorough follow-up examinations as needed. In some cases, the catheter may be removed to adjust the treatment. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, maintain personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
