Urinary catheterization - what does this mean
Urinary catheterization is a procedure in which a thin tube, known as a catheter, is inserted into the bladder through the urethra in order to drain or collect urine. this procedure is often used to treat urinary incontinence, urinary retention, or to monitor urine output in certain medical conditions.
What happens during the disease - urinary catheterization
Urinary catheterization is a medical procedure in which a catheter is inserted into the bladder through the urethra in order to drain urine. this procedure can be necessary due to a variety of medical conditions, such as urinary retention, bladder obstruction, or urinary incontinence. it can also be used to monitor urine output in critically ill patients. the pathogenesis of urinary catheterization involves the introduction of a foreign object into the bladder, which can lead to irritation and inflammation of the bladder wall, as well as an increased risk of infection. the risk of infection is further increased by the presence of bacteria on the catheter itself, as well as the prolonged contact with the bladder wall.
