Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hello sir
my grandfather of age 81years is now suffering from prostatitis
problem from past 3 months.as he was not able to withstand surgery we opt for having a pipe connected into the penis
with a bag.at present he is having acute burning sensation while passing urine.
so i request you to suggest any treatments available for my grandfather so that he could withstand the treatment
Based on the facts that you have posted your grand father has Enlarged Prostate and a self indwelling per urethral catheter has bee passed to drain out urine from bladder .He has developed symptoms of prostatitis .
It is very common to get catheter induced infection in bladder and prostate giving rise to causing burning urination and refractory UTI .
In such a situation it is always advisable to drain out bladder continuously by putting Supra Pubic Catheter (SPC)where a self retaining indwelling catheter is passed in bladder through a small hole made in anterior abdominal wall .
This is a more safe and easy method to drain urine and avoids getting infection which can be kept for months together without any discomfort ,infection and burning that patient gets from per urethral catheter in addition to of making patient ambulatory .
