It is suggested to wear loose fitting undergarments after the procedure as there is a chance of having a catheter after the procedure. Men's cotton boxers work well for both comfort and containing any bleeding that may occur. (Note: bleeding after a urethrotomy is expected and can last up to 48 hours.)
A hematocele that begins bleeding into itself, becoming a hemorrhagic cyst, can easily rupture and cause a number of problems. [11] If the hematocele is older, the tunica sac appears filled with spongy material several times larger than the testicular volume. [8] Most of this material is fibrin and cholesterol granulomas. [8]
The acute management of obstructing clots is the placement of a large (22–24 French) urethral Foley catheter. [17] Clots are evacuated with a Toomey syringe and saline irrigation. [17] If this does not control the bleeding, management should escalate to continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) via a three-port urethral catheter. [17]
A hematuria catheter is a type of Foley catheter used for Post-TURP hemostasis. This is useful following endoscopic surgical procedures, or in the case of gross hematuria. There are both two-way and three-way hematuria catheters (double and triple lumen). [1] A condom catheter can only be used by a person with a penis but carries a lower risk ...
Examination findings such as blood at the urethral meatus, or a high riding prostate necessitate a retrograde urethrogram prior to insertion. [8] In the United States, catheter-associated urinary tract infection is the most common type of hospital-acquired infection. [8]

Although pneumothorax and colonic injury are more common on subcostal needle insertion, these are rare complications. [6] Blood in urine usually clears up after 48 to 72 hours. Bleeding longer than this period may signifies more serious bleeding complication. About 2–4% of percutaneous nephrostomy cases require blood transfusion. [9]
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 ...
