Patient's question:
How many days at least should a catheter be removed to be able to urinate without restriction? If the catheter is removed and the person is still unable to urinate without restriction, is it better to have surgical treatment or to keep the catheter for a long time with intermittent catheterization?Doctor's answer:
Based on your careful examination and consideration, it is a left kidney cyst. Check the residual urine for prostatic hyperplasia. The kidney cyst is relatively small and does not require treatment. For prostatic hyperplasia, you can take Tamsulosin. If there is a lot of residual urine, surgical treatment is needed for prostatic hyperplasia. For patients with prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it will affect your physical condition. Therefore, the patient should receive timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life to avoid spicy foods.
