You cannot hold urine: In normal people, the end of the ureter at the bladder opening is resistant to reflux, and urine in the bladder cannot return to the kidneys along the ureter. After the double J tube is placed, the pelvis and bladder are opened, and urine can return to the kidney along the double J tube, which can easily cause urinary tract infection, and long-term urine reflux pressure on the pelvis can affect kidney function.
Drink more water: more than 2000ml per day can not only prevent infection, but also avoid the formation of stones in the wall of the double J canal.
Avoid strenuous activities of the waist: Strenuous activities of the waist may cause friction between the double J-tube and the tissue, resulting in hemorrhagic inflammation.
Keep in mind that the double J tube is left in the body: as requested by the doctor, it is usually removed about 2 weeks after surgery. The double J-tube is usually left in the body for about 3 months at most, and after a long time, some patients may have stones growing in the double J-tube, adhesions with the tissues, or even breakage, so it should be removed at regular intervals in strict compliance with the doctor’s instructions.
During the period with the double J tube may appear slight urinary pain or hematuria, you can take oral anti-inflammatory drugs and drink more water, when there is serious back pain or serious hematuria and recurrent high fever, please follow up with the hospital in time.
