2. Urinary catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinary_catheterization

   During long-term use, the catheter may be left in place all the time, or a patient may be instructed on a procedure for placing a catheter just long enough to empty the bladder and then removing it (known as intermittent self-catheterization). Patients undergoing major surgery are often catheterized and may remain so for some time. The patient ...

3. Urinary retention - Wikipedia

   In the longer term, treatment depends on the cause. BPH may respond to alpha blocker and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor therapy, or surgically with prostatectomy or transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). [citation needed] Use of alpha-blockers can provide relief of urinary retention following de-catheterization for both men and women.

   Although catheter use should be minimized in all patients, particularly those at higher risk of CAUTI and mortality (e.g. the elderly or those with impaired immunity), [2] a meta analysis suggests there is insufficient evidence to determine the value of different policies for replacing long term urinary catheters on patient outcomes. [3]

6. Intermittent catheterisation - Wikipedia

   Intermittent catheters come in a variety of designs and differ depending on the user's genitals, with a catheter for a penis being longer and a catheter for a vulva being shorter. The catheter is inserted into the urethra by the patient or a carer and can either be directed down a toilet or, if measurement of volume is required, into a ...

7. Purple urine bag syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_urine_bag_syndrome

   Purple urine bag syndrome can be a side effect of having a urinary tract infection while using a catheter for a long period of time. [15] A catheter is a small, flexible tube that can be inserted into a patient's bladder by a medical professional to allow the patient to easily and constantly empty their bladder.
