Extravasation of urine - what does this mean
Extravasation of urine occurs when urine leaks out of the bladder and into the surrounding tissue, usually due to an obstruction or trauma to the urinary tract. this can cause pain, swelling, and infection in the affected area.
What happens during the disease - extravasation of urine
Extravasation of urine is a condition in which urine leaks out of the bladder and into the surrounding tissues. it is caused by a disruption of the normal bladder wall integrity, which can be due to a variety of causes such as trauma, infection, congenital abnormalities, or diseases such as bladder cancer. the disruption of the bladder wall causes a break in the epithelial lining of the bladder, allowing urine to escape and irritate the surrounding tissue. this can lead to inflammation, pain, and damage to the surrounding structures.

Extravasation of urine - Prevention
Extravasation of urine can be prevented by maintaining proper hygiene around the catheter site, performing regular catheter changes, and ensuring that the catheter does not become blocked. additionally, regular monitoring of the catheter should be done to ensure that it is functioning properly.
