Deciphering The Doctor's Office: 3 Urology Products You May Encounter During Your Visit

By Complete Care Specialist February 27, 2019

Urinary problems plague people of all ages and in all walks of life. Whether you're facing chronic urinary tract infections or are struggling with incontinence, you may decide to go see a specialist. Urologists are trained in the branch of medicine that deals with surgical and medical diseases of the male and female urinary tract system; this focus allows urologists to provide more knowledgeable and experienced care than your normal primary care doctor.

However, this also means that the appointment will be much more foreign and potentially overwhelming. To make the process more approachable and palatable, we're going to explain three of the most common urology products you may encounter during your visit.

  • Catheters: Catheters have been used for over 3,500 years to drain the bladder when it fails to empty. Though the idea of having a tube inserted into your urethra doesn't seem particularly delightful, it can make a huge difference in your comfort levels and bladder health; approximately 15% to 25% of hospital stays require the use of a catheter, though any kind of blockage may warrant its use.
  • Bladder scanners: They may look bizarre, but these tiny handheld ultrasound devices can go a long way in diagnosing your urinary problem. By measuring bladder volume and post-void urinary retention without the need for an invasive procedure, bladder scanners can figure out what's wrong in the quickest amount of time.
  • Urine meters: As external bags, urine meters are most frequently used on surgical patients. They provide doctors with a precise measurement of urine outflow; in no time at all, doctors are able to see if you're hydrated, and will be able to note any other potential health problems based on the state of your urine.

As with most things in life, exposure and understanding can take away fear and panic. The longer you see your specialist, and the more information you gather regarding your visits, the easier they will become. Eventually, you may be able to provide your own care; by working with a reliable medical supplier like Complete Care Medical and learning the ins and outs of your catheters, irrigation / urethral trays, and drain bags and holders, you'll have regained some control in your life and taken your power back.
