Suggest Treatment For Irritation Around Penis Head

I had a foley catheter in for two weeks. Due to a stricture on prostate directly under the blatter.i have surgery to fix this in another week. It s a reoccurring problem about 10 years ago back worse. It s been a very irritating experience. Lots of irritation around the head of the penis. I ve been to the local ER twice with problems with pressure on the prostate and blood from penis and in urine. Now I m having issues where the catheter is not draining well I m sitting for long periods of time until I stand up and the leg bag will be almost filled completely. When this happens I fell like I m am urinating normally. Is this normal?

Hello,

The irritation around penis head with catheter in situ is normal phenomenon due to collection of smegma. Guidelines for control and management of this:
- Take the foreskin back totally and clean the area with antiseptic liquid or soap
- Apply Polymycin or Neomycin cream over penis head
- Drink more liquids to prevent secondary urinary infection

The filling of urine bag in certain positions indicate gravity dependent output of urine from the filled bladder and is absolutely normal.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
