Why I might need a catheter?

Описание: Why might I need a catheter?
There are several reasons why a catheter may be needed and it’s used to help drain urine from the bladder.

Some common reasons include:

✅ Urinary retention (for example, from an enlarged prostate, after surgery, or due to nerve damage).
✅ During certain operations, when the bladder needs to be drained or closely monitored.
✅ A blockage in the system that prevents urine from passing normally.

Your healthcare team will always explain why a catheter is needed in your specific situation.
