Karan Bhatia, a 58-year-old accountant and...
Karan Bhatia, a 58-year-old accountant and father of two, had a history of an enlarged prostate. For three days, he experienced agonizing pain and an inability to urinate, passing only small amounts of dark, bloody urine. A visit to the Emergency Department revealed a large blood clot completely blocking his bladder. The urologist, Dr. Sharma, explained that a cystoscopy with clot evacuation was urgently needed to relieve the blockage, stop the bleeding, and prevent kidney damage. Under spinal anesthesia, Karan felt pressure but no pain as Dr. Sharma used a thin scope to flush out the clots and cauterize a bleeding vessel on his prostate. After the procedure, with a catheter in place, his urine immediately cleared. The catheter was removed after 24 hours, and he could urinate freely again, though with some initial burning. Emotionally, Karan went from sheer panic and fear of permanent damage to profound relief and gratitude. He felt a renewed appreciation for his health and closely followed up on managing his prostate condition.
