Patient's question:
The decision was made for lower body anesthesia. At around 1:00 PM, a urinary catheter was inserted. I felt uncomfortable in the evening, so the doctor suggested removing it at 10:00 PM. It was possible to urinate, but it took much longer in the restroom. During this time, can I take medication?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you reported, it is more likely that the discomfort symptoms are caused by the irritation from the catheter during surgery. In this case, it is generally advisable to seek further detailed and thorough medical examinations at the hospital to understand the condition. Urine tests can be conducted to help with this. Generally, drinking more water can help. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, and long-term medication is often required. For male patients, it is important to immediately go to a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to abstain from sexual activity and maintain a good mood.
