Patient Name: David Patel. Age: 28...
Patient Name: David Patel. Age: 28. Background: A software engineer, recently married, and a supportive husband who has been actively involved in his wife's pregnancy journey. Symptoms/History: David's wife, Priya, is 32 weeks pregnant. Over the past 48 hours, she developed severe lower abdominal pain, a persistent feeling of needing to urinate but only passing a few drops, and a low-grade fever. A prenatal ultrasound revealed a significantly distended bladder due to urinary retention, a condition known as hydronephrosis, caused by the pressure of the enlarged uterus on her ureters. Doctor Recommendation: The obstetrician recommended immediate catheterization to relieve the acute urine blockage, prevent kidney damage, and reduce the risk of urinary tract infection that could threaten the pregnancy. Treatment Experience: In the hospital, a soft Foley catheter was inserted into Priya's bladder via her urethra. David held her hand throughout the quick procedure. Immediate relief of over 800ml of urine was achieved, drastically reducing her pain. Post-Procedure Recovery Outcome: Priya was admitted for 24 hours of observation and intravenous antibiotics. The catheter remained in place for two days to allow her bladder to rest. After removal, she was able to void normally. She carried the pregnancy to 38 weeks and delivered a healthy baby boy via planned cesarean section. Emotional Journey: Before the procedure, David felt terrified and helpless watching his wife in agony, fearing for both her and their baby's safety. He wrestled with guilt, wondering if he had missed earlier signs. After the successful catheterization and seeing Priya's instant relief, his anxiety transformed into profound relief and gratitude. The experience deepened his empathy and active role as a partner, making him feel like a crucial part of the healthcare team supporting his family.
