“Foley catheter is a thin, sterile tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine. Because it can be left in place in the bladder for a period of time, it is also called an indwelling catheter. It is held in place with a balloon at the end, which is filled with sterile water to prevent the catheter from being removed from the bladder. The urine drains through the catheter tube into a bag and can then be taken from an outlet device to be drained. Laboratory tests can be conducted on the urine to look

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are relatively common among women compared to men. Because of the shorter distance between the urethral opening and the bladder, they are more prone to get UTIs. Their urethra and the anus are situated in close proximity, raising the risk of UTIs further. Certain lifestyle modifications help prevent urinary tract infections in both men and women, while some prevent UTIs, especially in females. Drinking water Drink an adequate amount of liquids daily.

Urinary incontinence is a common problem that is often under reported due to the embarrassing nature and social stigma attached. (Berman et al. 2003) It is classed as chronic disease which can pose a serious social problem. Kinchen et al. (2007) has carried out extensive research which shows that women in particular take a long time to report their symptoms. Urinary incontinence can have a considerable effect on an individual’s quality of life – but can be significantly improved with correct assessment
Due to the breadth of the female urinary incontinence (UI) device market, categorizing it can aid in better understanding it. The first distinction to be made is between products which are designed to prevent urinary incontinence episodes, and those which are designed to manage them. Within the former category, exist products such as pharmaceuticals, surgical options, bulking agents, nerve stimulation devices, bladder supports and inserts. Within the UI management device category, we find devices
procedure used to diagnose bladder cancer. This can be done under local anesthetic in a urologist's office or an outpatient surgery center. During cystoscopy the physician inserts a narrow tube through the urethra. The tube has a light and lens that allows the physician to see inside the bladder and urethra. The tool can also remove cells to check for cancer, called a biopsy. Urologists may also order a CT scan (computerized tomography) to take images inside the body. A test called urine cytology will
Canine Periodontal Disease What is Canine Periodontal Disease? Periodontal disease is the inflammation of the structures that support the teeth. This disease is the primary loss of teeth in dogs. It is caused by a build-up of dental plaque on the surfaces of the teeth and around the gums. Bacteria can accumulate in the dental plaque and irritate the gum tissue which leads to the infection of the bone that surrounds the teeth.

Prevalence of Urinary Tract Infections in the Geriatric Healthcare Setting A urinary tract infection (UTI) is defined as an infection of the kidneys, ureters, or bladder caused by microorganisms that either ascend from the urethra (95% of cases) or that spread to the kidney from the bloodstream (5%). About 7 million American patients visit health care providers each year because of Urinary tract infections. These infections commonly occur in otherwise healthy women, men with prostatic hypertrophy

The glans is the head of the penis which is covered by a loose layer of skin called the foreskin. The opening of the urethra is at the tip of the glans and is contained in the corpus spongiosum. • The penis contains a number of sensitive nerve endings, lymphatic and blood vessels, also two suspensory ligaments made up of elastic fibers. • The body of the penis is cylindrical
carcinoma, in women, it starts at the very start of the urethra by the bladder, and for men it may start anywhere in the cells that line the urethra of the penis. Transitional cell carcinoma is the opposite way around and is found in the end of the urethra for women (the opening of the urethra), in men it is found at the beginning of the urethra (the prostate gland). Then for both men and women, adenocarcinoma is found in the glands around the urethra. It has been said that urethral cancer is one of

The urinary system consists of the two kidneys, the two ureters, the bladder, the two sphincter muscles, the nerves in the bladder, and the urethra. After your body takes what it needs from the food you eat waste products are then left behind in the blood.

Urethritis is a condition that affects the urethra. The urethra is a tube that carries urine from the bladder so that it can be expelled from the body. In males semen also passes through this tube. This can cause the urethra to become irritated and inflamed. Pain with urination is the most common symptom of urethritis. The main cause of urethritis is normally an infection. It can usually be cured with antibiotics. It has been found that both males and females can develop urethritis. However, females

The Human Reproductive System The Female Reproductive System consists of the Female sex cells, Vagina, Labia, Clitoris, Urethra, Hymen, Uterus, Cervix, Fallopian tubes, Ovaries, Estrogen, and Progesterone. The female sex cells, otherwise known as ovum, which are created by the ovaries, combines with male sperm, give a fertilized egg a home, and create an embryo. The vagina, also known as the birth canal, joins to the bottom of the uterus (cervix) and it holds male gametes during sex and provides
relaxes so that the urine can flow out through the urethra. In men, the urethra passes through the penis and is about 20 centimeters long. In women, it opens above the vaginal outlet. Since their urethra is only three to five centimeters long, bacteria can get out of the anus more easily into the bladder. This is one of the reasons why bladder infections in women are more common than in men. In older men, a larger prostate pressing on the bladder and urethra makes it difficult to urinate.

URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS (UTIs) Description Urinary tract infection (UTI) is defined as an infection of any part of the urinary tract. UTIs are common bacterial infections managed in general practice, particularly in sexually active women except in first year of life and in elderly. UTIs represent the most frequent bacterial infections encountered in the community settings. One per cent boys and 3-5% girls below 14 years develop UTI. Risk of UTI is also higher in children with congenital urinary

Clitoris is a small sensitive and erectile part of the female genitals at the anterior end of the vulva. Urethra is a duct by which urine is convey out of the body from the bladder and which in male vertebrates also conveys semen.
