Why is this tube (catheter) always inserted into patients during surgery?

Have you ever wondered why before any surgical procedure is started, this tube MUST always be inserted inside the patient?

Let me tell you why.

You see, the human body is like a clock-work…… it actually never stops working until dëãth.

So, even when a patient is unconscious, under anesthesia, their body still produce urine. Their kidneys continue to produce urine as they used to, and that urine collects in the bladder as usual.

However, since they are unconscious and unable to control their bladder muscles, they can’t empty it themselves..

Here’s what typically happens:

1. For long surgeries (or those near the bladder), doctors will insert a urinary catheter after the patient is asleep. This thin tube collects the urine from the bladder and continuously drain it into a collection bag throughout the period of the surgery.

2. Even in short procedures, if the patient hasn't emptied their bladder beforehand or has issues with bladder control, a catheter might still be used for eventualities.

3. Fluids given during surgery: Sometimes the anesthesiologist gives the patient IV fluids to maintain blood pressure. This extra fluid quickly increases the amount of urine being produced, hence, filling the bladder faster than normal.

- Without this tube in place, the patient can have a full bladder during the period of a surgery Which can become distended, leading to discomfort, damage, or even delaying the recovery of the patient.

- If the surgery involves the pelvic area or organs near the bladder, a full bladder can obstruct the view of the surgeon which can cause him/her to accidentally injure the bladder.

So, as you can see, this tube isn’t only to help the surgical team do their job seamlessly, it also helps the patients during and after the surgery.

I hope you now know why this tube is used?

And I hope you’ll not feel uncomfortable next time when they tell you they’ll be inserting a gathered inside you?😂😂😂

P.S: After the surgery, the catheter is usually removed before the patient wakes up—unless there’s a medical reason to leave it in.

So most patients don’t even know it was inserted in them.😁😁

Many men can tell when something isn’t right down there, but they often don’t know the cause or what’s going on.

Because it’s a sensitive and embarrassing topic, they tend to avoid seeking help.
I understand that feeling all too well.

Oya let’s talk about it👇

✅PROBLEM ONE

Are you having problems with your Odogwu whenever you need him to take charge?

It could be a problem you haven't noticed if you haven't already gone down with a woman but trust me there are other ways to know. The early morning glory

It can happen throughout the day and not only when you are about to go in.

When in the mood, when you she enter your eyes, while sleeping, while waking up from sleep, if Odogwu doesn't react, there maybe a problem but is that all No.

✅Well There are a number of reasons why your odogwu may not be standing strong like iroko when you need him😀

Things like stress, tiredness, unhealthy diet and lifestyle, or an underlying condition such as low testosterone.

But essentially, not rising at all is a serious problem that need intervention. You don’t need to relax,
Run like a toad in the day time and meet a doctor Biko.

Let’s continue 👇😀

The myths and dangers of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG)

If you’re pregnant and you can’t eat or drink anything without throwing up, please don’t ignore it. This might be more than just “morning sickness.”

You could be dealing with Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), a severe form of pregnancy related vomiting that can be dangerouss for both you and your baby.

HG is not something to brush off or “push through.” It’s not because you’re weak or not strong enough. It’s a real medical condition. To deal with.

If you’re throwing up several times a day, losing weight, feeling extremely weak or dizzy, or even struggling to keep water down, that’s NOT normal. You need a medical attention from an expert.

Left untreated, HG can lead to serious problems like dehydration, weight loss, and nutrient deficiencies. It can affect your baby’s growth and may even lead to hospitalization.

In many cases, women with HG need IV fluids, medications, and proper care to stabilize their health, but this must be done with caution and must be handle by an expert.

Please don’t let anyone tell you it’s “just part of pregnancy.” It’s not normal to feel like you’re dying. It’s not normal to be unable to eat or function at all.

Get the proper care you deserve ❤️

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LIVER CIRRHOSIS.

Cirrhosis is severe scarring of the liver. This serious condition can be caused by many forms of liver diseases and conditions, such as Hepatitis-B virus or chronic alcoholism.

Each time your liver is injured, whether by excessive alcohol consumption or another cause, such as infection, it tries to repair itself. In the process, scar tissue forms.

As cirrhosis gets worse, more and more scar tissue forms, making it difficult for the liver to do its job. An advanced cirrhosis is life-threatening.

The liver damage caused by cirrhosis generally can't be undone. But if liver cirrhosis is diagnosed early and the underlying cause is treated, further damage can be limited. In rare cases, it may be reversed.

SOME POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS.

Cirrhosis often has no early symptoms until liver damage is severe. When symptoms do occur, they may include:
Fatigue.
Easily bleeding or bruising.
Loss of appetite.
Nausea.
Edema (Swelling in the legs, feet or ankles).
Weight loss.
Itchy skin.
Jaundice (Yellow discoloration in the skin and eyes).
Ascites (Fluid accumulation in the abdomen).

In most cases;
Spiderlike blood vessels on the skin.
Redness in the palms of the hands.
Pale fingernails, especially the thumb and index finger.
Clubbing of the fingers, in which the fingertips spread out and become rounder than usual.

For women, absence of or loss of periods not related to menopause.

For men, loss of s*x drive, testicular shrinkage or breast enlargement, known as gynecomastia.
Confusion, drowsiness or slurred speech.

Cirrhosis is a wide range of diseases and conditions can damage the liver and lead to cirrhosis.
