can the use of a catheter for the bladder cause erectile dysfunction? in a man in early 40's, some episodes but no major history of ed. catheter was placed for 9 days?

Question

What would cause lots of tiny air bubbles in a supra pubic catheter? How would air get into bladder. Could it be fistula?

Answer 1

Catheter ED?: Could be. But ED CAN be to many things and needs careful evaluation. Tell your friend this.

Answer 2

Check-up: How high is fever? What colors is drainage from nose? There could be many causes. Illness in children is most likely a virus and symptomatic control is usually all that is needed. I would advise you to a make an appointment with his pediatrician if you are concerned.

Answer 3

Observe: Clear runny nose with a fever usually means viral infection.Treat fever and runny nose. If runny nose persist beyond 7-10 days with persistent fever, your child will need to be seen for possible bacterial infection - sinus, ear, throat , overlapping pneumonia etc.Prompt medical treatment, if at any time his condition has worsened!

Answer 4

Correct!: This early in pregnancy makes it difficult to discern whether it is a developing fetus in the egg sac or a "blighted ovum" of a possible miscarrriage. The "tincture of time" will tell the difference. Be patient as mother nature works on her own schedule.

Answer 5

Agree with Dr. I: You may get blood test for HCG level and repeat it in 2-3 days. In a healthy pregnancy HCG levels should double every 2 days or so.

Answer 6

You might be: Condoms are not very effective by themselves because there is leakage around the base or they may leak. The pull out method is also very unreliable. We call people who count on the pull out method 'parents'. Check a pregnancy test in a few days. Check again 3-4 days after that as well to be sure.

Answer 7

Unlikely: With a condom and pulled out, unlikely. Two days is not that late. If you are still late after a week then a simple pregnancy test will put your mind at ease.

Answer 8

Hand numbness: There is a good chance that what you are describing is carpal tunnel syndrome. If this continues wear a wrist splint at night. If this does not solve the numbness then you need to discuss this with your doctor.

Answer 9

It depends: Each test is different. Most tests show two bars as positive. The package will tell you the best time to take a test. Typically mid void first thing in the morning. The closer to the time of expected next period is best.

Answer 10

Too early to test: Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.
