Insertion of a urethral-bladder catheter (urinary catheter) is a medical procedure used to drain urine from the urinary bladder when the patient cannot urinate spontaneously or in situations requiring monitoring of urine output.
Catheter change is necessary periodically, depending on the type of catheter and medical indication, to prevent complications and ensure its proper functioning.
The procedure is performed by specialized medical personnel, under sterile conditions, to reduce the risk of infections.
Common indications include:
The procedure is quick and generally well tolerated. In some cases, mild temporary discomfort may occur.
