Anika Bhatia, a 68-year-old retired school...
Anika Bhatia, a 68-year-old retired school principal, lives with her daughter's family. She has a history of Type 2 diabetes and recurrent UTIs. For the past year, she has struggled with urinary retention, requiring multiple visits to the ER for catheterization. Despite trying medications to relax her bladder, her condition worsened, leaving her constantly anxious about her next 'blockage' and feeling like a burden during family outings. Her urologist, Dr. Sharma, explained that her bladder muscles were no longer functioning properly and recommended a trocar cystostomy, a minor procedure to create a small, permanent opening above the pubic bone for a suprapubic catheter. This would bypass her dysfunctional urethra entirely. Anika was terrified of the idea of a permanent tube but desperate for relief. The procedure, done under local anesthesia, was quick. She felt pressure but no sharp pain. The immediate relief of her painfully full bladder was profound. After a week of learning to care for the new catheter site with her daughter's help, Anika's life transformed. She no longer lives in fear of retention episodes. Emotionally, she moved from a state of constant anxiety and dependence to regaining her confidence and independence. She can now enjoy full days with her grandchildren without the looming dread of a urinary crisis.
