Female patients with indwelling catheters can get out of bed under normal circumstances.
Women can get out of bed if conditions permit during the catheterization process. Appropriate activities are conducive to blood circulation, avoiding the symptoms of poor circulation and numbness of the legs and feet caused by prolonged sitting and standing, as well as preventing the formation of blood clots. But be careful not to involve the urinary catheter, in order to prevent the catheter from falling off.
If the patient does not recover well during the catheterization process, or if it is difficult to get up, it is best to get up with the help of family members, so as to avoid excessive force, which may lead to traumatic bleeding. In the early stage of getting out of bed about 10 to 20 minutes, after the body gradually recovered, can be appropriate to extend the time to get out of bed.
After the catheter is placed, you should regularly observe the urination situation and the color of urine, and test the urine volume every day. If you find abnormal urination, such as reddish color and abnormal urine volume, you need to inform your doctor in time.
