Patient's question:
I'm not quite sure about the urinary retention caused by prostatitis and hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Consultation for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.Advice: The patient's benign prostatic hyperplasia has caused significant urinary tract obstruction. Have you taken any medication? If not, it is recommended to start with medication treatment, such as Harle + Finasteride. If you have already taken medication and the current treatment is not effective, surgical treatment is advised, specifically transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
Inserting a catheter only needs to be done correctly at the time of insertion for urine to flow into the collection bag. It is not recommended to repeatedly insert a catheter (please note that it is not recommended, but not impossible) because inserting a catheter can easily cause urinary tract infections. The risk of urinary tract infection increases with repeated insertions and removals. Clinical doctors will take appropriate measures based on the specific situation.
In your case, it is best to investigate why you are unable to urinate—whether it is due to urinary tract obstruction or other reasons. It does not happen for no reason. Only by identifying the cause can the condition be effectively treated.
Suggestions: Further detailed examination is recommended to identify the root cause and provide symptomatic treatment, which is the only way to achieve a cure. Avoid repeatedly inserting a catheter.
