Bladder Catheterization Surgery
Bladder catheterization is a medical procedure that involves the insertion of a thin, flexible tube called a catheter into the bladder through the urethra. This is done to drain urine from the bladder in cases where a person is unable to urinate on their own or needs their bladder to be emptied continuously.
Bladder operations are used for urinary sewerage, or as a means to collect urine for measurement. Many situations are appropriate for the placement of catheters, but too frequently they are used without proper indication or continued longer than need.

Bladder catheterization is a medical procedure commonly performed in India to drain urine from the bladder. It is usually recommended for patients who are unable to urinate on their own due to various medical conditions such as prostate enlargement, spinal cord injury, or after surgery.
The procedure is generally safe and has a high success rate. Moreover, the cost of bladder catheterization in India is relatively affordable, making it accessible to a broader section of patients.
Patients who require long-term catheterization may need to learn how to care for the catheter themselves or have a caregiver assist them. However, healthcare providers typically provide education and training to ensure that patients and caregivers understand how to care for the catheter and maintain hygiene.
Overall, bladder catheterization is a commonly performed and safe procedure in India, with high-quality care and affordable costs.
Procedure of Bladder Catheterization
The procedure can be performed in a hospital, clinic, or at home with proper training and equipment. It is usually done under sterile conditions to reduce the risk of infection.
During the procedure, the patient is positioned comfortably, and the area around the urethra is cleaned with an antiseptic solution. The catheter is then inserted into the urethra and guided up to the bladder. Once the catheter is in the bladder, the urine is drained through the catheter into a collection bag.
The length of time the catheter remains in the bladder depends on the reason for the procedure. For short-term catheterization, the catheter may be removed once the bladder is emptied. For long-term catheterization, the catheter may remain in place for several days or weeks, and the patient or caregiver will need to be trained in how to care for the catheter and maintain hygiene.
Although bladder catheterization is generally safe, there are some risks involved, such as infection, bleeding, and injury to the urethra or bladder. It is essential to follow the healthcare provider's instructions carefully and report any unusual symptoms or discomfort.
