What to do if you can’t urinate after the catheter is removed

If you can’t urinate after the intubation is removed, you can improve your symptoms by local massage, hot compresses or reintubation. 1. Local massage: massage the bladder area of the lower abdomen to promote the discharge of urine through pressure, be careful to avoid excessive force. 2. Local hot compresses: Use hot water bags to apply hot compresses to the lower abdomen for 5 to 10 minutes to relax the urethral sphincter and promote urine drainage. 3. Re-intubation: If you have not urinated for a long period of time, and you feel uncomfortable, you can re-intubate the urinary catheter to drain the urine and improve the edema. The inability to urinate for a short period of time after removing the urinary catheter may be caused by the irritation of the urethra or psychological disorder, which is generally a normal phenomenon. If the patient is unable to urinate normally for a long period of time, the patient should inform the doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease and treat it as soon as possible.
