A member asked:
My dad had a stroke and has a catheter. now he has a uti and there was blood in his urine, so now he is having a bladder washout. is this common?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fairly common: It is fairly common for patients with catheters to develop urine infections or hematuria, which is blood in urine. The catheter is to stay for the minimum amount of time that is needed. If it becomes chronic replacing it every 3-4 weeks is critical in order to avoid catheter associated infections.
