What is Urinary Catheterization
A thin, flexible tube is inserted into the bladder during a urinary catheterization procedure, either through the urethra or a surgical incision made in the belly. When normal urine flow is blocked or precise pee output monitoring is needed, this catheter enables the bladder to empty its contents. Both a “straight catheterization,” which lasts only a short while, and a “implanted catheterization,” which lasts for a significant amount of time, can be carried out. Healthcare professionals typically use this strategy in a medical setting.

Types of Urinary Catheter
Urinary catheters come in different lumen numbers. While some have a closed draining system, others have balloons that secure the indwelling catheter.
- Single-lumen (straight) catheters: Usually used for short-term catheterization, such as during surgical procedures or to collect a urine sample, these catheters feature just one lumen (channel).
- Double-lumen (indwelling) catheters: specially made for indwelling use, these catheters have two lumens, one for urinary draining and the other for blowing up a balloon to secure the catheter.
- Triple-lumen catheters: These are used to continuously irrigate the bladder or to inject drugs there. Urine is eliminated by one lumen, the balloon is filled by another, and irrigation fluid is delivered by a third lumen.
Symptoms Of Urinary Catheterization
There are several situations in clinical practice when urinary catheterization is recommended, including but not restricted to:
- Urinary preservation, either acute or chronic inability to naturally empty the bladder because to a blockage, a neurological disorder, or weakening of the bladder muscles.
- Tracking the amount of pee produced vital for overseeing patients in critical care units or during major surgeries where precise urinary output measurement is required.
- Gathering samples of clean urine essential when clean urine samples are needed for diagnostic examinations.
- Use during surgery both during and following surgical procedures, especially those related to the urinary system or lengthy procedures that may impair bladder control.
- Handling extreme urine leakage when other therapies are not working or are not viable, especially for individuals who have severe neurological disorders or mobility issues.
- Watering the bladder to control or avoid blood clots material in the bladder, particularly after surgery.
Urinary Catheterization Procedure
- The method for male urinary catheterization or female urinary catheterization at home is the same as that of a hospital. This is how it works:
- Before handling the catheter, thoroughly clean your hands with soap and water.
- Gather the catheter (open), a clean cloth, lubricant, and a urine collection container.
- Wash the penis with an antibacterial cleanser. In the case of women, the vagina should be treated in the same way.
- Insert the catheter into the penis while holding it straight. Insert the catheter tube into the vagina with mild pressure in women.
- While the procedure is being performed, the patient should take a deep breath and settle into a comfortable position.
- When the pee begins to flow, gently push the catheter farther within.
- When the urine stops flowing, carefully remove the urinary catheter by pressing hard on the opposite end of the tube so that you do not become wet.
