Patient's question:
Hello everyone, my father had a surgical procedure for benign prostatic hyperplasia (transurethral resection, also known as minimally invasive surgery) at the hospital. The surgery was performed on December 13th, and it has been 22 days so far. After the surgery, he had a urinary catheter inserted, which produced bloody urine. During this time, the catheter was removed once, and a few drops of urine with blood clots were observed. The doctor then reinserted the catheter and allowed him to be discharged for recovery. Five days after discharge, he experienced continuous bloody urine and severe body pain, prompting him to return to the hospital. An ultrasound revealed a large amount of blood clots in his bladder. The doctors do not deny any issues with their surgery. However, the continuous bloody urine for over 20 days leads me to believe there must be some responsibility on the part of the doctors. As the patient's family, how can we seek justice? Which department should we contact to resolve this issue?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to the urology department of a local top-tier hospital for a further detailed examination of the fusion condition and to implement treatment. Based on the patient's description of the situation, it can be considered to have the examination conducted at a hospital reserved by a local testing institution to prevent excessive anxiety and tension. Additionally, during the treatment period for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient should try to digest vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
