Hello! Because you do not clearly inform which patient the condition of the urinary catheter is stuck, and the time of catheterization, it is not possible to have an exact answer. The common cause of urinary catheter blockage is the retention of the urinary catheter for too long, not being rinsed regularly, so urine sediment causes blockage of the tube or placing the urinary catheter too deeply, causing the bladder wall, and the catheter to be folded.
You should take the patient to a medical facility for assistance in rinsing or changing the urinary catheter. If you need more advice on the cause of urinary catheter blockage and how to handle it, you can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for answers. Thank you for submitting your question to Vinmec.
