Can urinary catheters cause wounded to the urethra?
yes.
if the catheter is placed too roughly, it can tear the urethra and explanation bleeding and also an opening for infection.
if the size of the catheter is too ample, the urethra could possibly be ruptured. if too small, urine will leak around the catheter, and will involve to be replaced with a larger size.
if the balloon that anchors the catheter within the bladder is not
fully into the bladder when inflated with saline or sterile hose,
that can also rupture the urethra.
typically, when the catheter is advanced through the urethra and into the bladder, there is a flow of urine indicating
correct placement. the balloon is afterwards inflated with the proper amount of fluid and pulled delicately to anchor it to the base of the bladder.
sterile technique is used when placing the catheter to minister to prevent an infection.
