They should give him liquid morphine or other pain reliever to help with the pain.
yopu don’t want to mask this type of pain
buildup of pressure should have been relieved with the catheter
There is something more.
my daughter was born with Kidney issues and had to undergo surgeries so I am a little familiar- this ‘pressure’ thing led the doctors to find something blocking the output
A catheter alone will not pass some bladder or kidney stones any better than the persons own equipment. The pain will remain until the stones are passed or reduced in size.
A friend of mine finally passed a stone only when they removed the catheter - it was very painful, but he said it literally “jumped out”.
A catheter is no use unless there is a tissue blockage in the urethra that is preventing passage through the urethra, and the catheter pushes through the damaged tissue that has caused a blockage. That is usually not the case with stones. With stones it is the stone(s) that are simply too large to to pass without pain, or to pass at all.
If it is bladder stones that are blocking the urine system, and they won’t pass “naturally”, what is needed is:
A surgeon inserts a small, rigid tube with a camera at the end (a cystoscope) into the urethra and up into the bladder. The camera is used to help locate the bladder stones.
A crushing device, lasers or ultrasound waves transmitted from the cystoscope can be used to break up the stones into smaller fragments, which can be washed out of the bladder increased intake of fluids.
