We lost our syringe that our health care provider gave us, and your video about the scissors was a big help. I think a lot of the nurses and Drs. Should give that information out when you leave the hospital. Thanks again, you relieved me of a great deal of discomfort.
I wish that the nurse who removed my catheter would have seen this. She either forgot or didn't know to deflate the balloon before removal. A lot of pain, and a lot of blood. And had to have another one installed the next day, because of the damage that she did.
Hello Dr. Chan. Loved the video. I didn’t know it was that easy to remove this type of catheter. But I do have a question. Are there things I should look out for once removing the catheter? Is blood in the urine normal for the first few days?
Jorge, thanks for your kind comment. Blood in the urine can be normal, but paying attention to other symptoms can be important. Having a catheter in place does predispose people to developing a urinary tract infection which can be evidenced by blood in the urine. So if someone is having other symptoms like burning with urination or fevers, it might be worthwhile to check in with your doctor to make sure you don't have a UTI.
I’m supposed to remove mine tomorrow (after cystolitholapaxy). I’m terrified! 😨 The thought of pulling something thru my bladder, thru my prostate, & then thru my urethra is terrifying!
Getting ready to remove mine today. But damn, that bladder looks small compared to the size of the balloon. I seriously hope my bladder is larger then that 😳
Thanks for watching! If you have any suggestions or comments for other urology topics you'd like to hear about, please post them below.
Thanks so much since no one cares here in this hospital. I have decided to remove it myself. I have been on pains for days because of it. Many thanks
you are welcome. good luck!

good luck. hope it went well
How did it go?
@@darylc2799 no issues! Easier than it looks! I didn’t feel a thing! The thought was terrifying tho!
@@johnnyhorizon8368 how many days was it in? I am having prostate surgery on Wednesday and getting a catheter
@@darylc2799 just about 4 days.
Scheduled to remove mine in 2 days. Dr chen, should I take ibuprofen or tylenol or some pain reliever before then? Will have had mine in 8 days?
usually not needed, but it never hurts
Will not do myself in case there is a problem. It's it weird not having it.
Getting ready to remove mine today. But damn, that bladder looks small compared to the size of the balloon. I seriously hope my bladder is larger then that 😳
Good luck!
I wish you showed the painful part, I do it tomorrow 😮😢
