Recovery Ideas for Foley Catheter Damage to Male Ureter?
I had a heart ablation 3 days ago that required me to lay flat on my back for 18 hours. A Foley Catheter was put into my bladder at the start of the procedure which was just a slight pain. The Foley stayed in for about 20 hours and removal was very painful, about a level 8. Urination has been extremely painful, about 8 to 9 (Pain level 10 is rolling around on the ground screaming) at times and always generates a bloody urine. My problem is even worse as I have to take anticoagulants (Lovenox, Coumadin and aspirin) in oder to break up clot formation from the ablation procedure. If there isn’t any improvement with my ureter by in 2 days, I’ll seek help at an Urgent Care clinic. In the mean time do you have any ideas?
