Hello,
Causes of symptoms may be:
Absence of proper antiseptic precautions during self-catheterization, underlying urethral stricture, pH imbalance due to inadequate fluid intake, associated benign prostatic hyperplasia, faulty hygiene of genital. Systemic issues as diabetes/HIV/STD/others, kidney infections or stones in the urinary system, and others.
Very vital information lacking here is urination process at present, flow of urine, urgency, hesitancy, weak stream, night frequency, burning, and bleeding if any in urine. In absence of these I can guide as follows:
• Proper diagnosis of the cause is mainstay of the story then comes the management portion and cost.
• Need proper evaluation with expert urologist in terms of diagnostic cystoscopy, ultrasound of abdomen pelvis, laboratory work-up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
