8-132.3:
Manipulation of urinary tract: Manipulation of bladder: Irrigation, continuous
Your bladder has been continuously washed out over a long period of time.
When substances such as pus or blood accumulate in certain parts of the body, it can be harmful. To remove such substances, the areas can be washed out with a fluid. The purpose of the fluid is to loosen and absorb the substances. Sometimes the fluid can also contain certain agents. The fluid is then removed once more.
When you have to pass water, the urine flows from the bladder via the urethra and out. To wash out the bladder, a tube is inserted into the bladder.
