Patient's question:
Leg swelling, facial edema, benign prostatic hyperplasia 7 years ago. After a thorough examination in the hospital, it was found that both kidneys have hydronephrosis. It is recommended to insert a catheter to urinate. I would like to consult if there are any side effects to inserting a catheter? Is there any interference?Doctor's answer:
Now the elderly have again developed edema and hydronephrosis, which is related to benign prostatic hyperplasia and the inability to urinate normally. In such cases, it is necessary to promptly empty the urine. This can be done through catheterization. In addition to treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
