Patient's question:
Difficulty urinating during a hospital stay for heart disease. The doctor mentioned two methods: 1. Inserting a catheter; 2. Making an incision. Which method is safer?Doctor's answer:
A catheter is generally not to be used for more than one week; it is usually used for three to five days. At the same time, the color and volume of urine should be observed to determine when to remove the catheter. Patients with indwelling catheters should pay attention to preventing infection, try to control self-voiding, and remove the catheter as soon as possible.
