In gynecology, urinary catheters are used in various situations:
Surgical Procedures: During surgeries such as hysterectomy, myomectomy, or pelvic organ prolapse repair, catheters help monitor urine output and prevent bladder distension. Postoperative Care: Catheters are used postoperatively to manage urinary retention and ensure the bladder is emptying properly. Bladder Dysfunction: For patients with conditions like neurogenic bladder or severe pelvic organ prolapse, catheters help manage urinary incontinence or retention.
