Urine Residual

Residual urine is urine that remains in the bladder cavity after urination or removal of urine through a catheter.

The presence of residual urine is caused by weakening of the muscular lining of the bladder or obstruction of the urethra.

The causes of residual urine can be:

1. Inflammatory diseases of the urinary tract (cystitis, urethritis)

2. Benign prostatic hyperplasia

3. Urethral strictures

4. Neurological disorders (spinal cord lesions)

5. Muscle weakness or atony of the bladder

The presence of residual urine contributes to the development of chronic urinary tract infection, stone formation in the kidneys and bladder.

Diagnosis of residual urine is carried out using ultrasound and bladder catheterization.

Treatment is aimed at eliminating the causes of this complication. Complex therapy is carried out, including medication and physiotherapeutic treatment. In some cases, surgery may be required.

The prognosis for residual urine largely depends on timely diagnosis and adequately selected treatment. Timely elimination of the causes of residual urine allows you to prevent serious complications and restore normal urination.

Residual urine is urine that remains in the bladder cavity after complete emptying or when using a catheter to remove urine. This condition can be caused by various reasons, including weakness of the bladder muscles and obstruction of the urethra.

Residual urine can be hazardous to health as it can cause urinary tract infections and other illnesses. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the amount of urine that comes out when urinating, and if necessary, consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Additionally, residual urine can lead to various health problems such as urinary incontinence or urinary retention. Therefore, it is important to monitor your health and consult a doctor if any symptoms appear.
