What effects does use a urinary Foley catheter have on the body?

Urinary catheterization is the main means of drainage of urine. It is often used for monitoring during surgery. It is also often used for rescue when the condition is critical. In these cases, the insertion of a Foley Catheter is a temporary measure, and the urinary catheter will be removed after recovery. Some people need long-term or lifelong indwelling catheter insertion, such as the elderly with urinary retention or long-term bed rest.

Inserting a urinary catheter is an invasive operation and can cause damage to the urethra. In a few cases, urethral stricture occurs. Long-term urinary catheter insertion has many problems. Recurrent urinary tract infections and stones are the most common.

First, using a urinary catheter may damage the patient's urethral mucosa, causing pain in the urethra.

Second, using a silicone foley catheter may lead to urinary tract infection, especially if the aseptic operation is poor, it will lead to such urinary tract infection.

The third point is that using a urinary catheter may damage the patient's bladder function, which is not conducive to the spontaneous relief of urination after the urinary catheter is removed.
