Bladder irrigation is a common urological procedure used for flushing out the bladder and preventing or treating complications like infections, blood clots, and blockages. At Urology Clinic Navi Mumbai, led by Dr. Ninad Tamboli, we specialize in safe and effective bladder irrigation using advanced techniques and a patient-focused approach. This blog explains everything you need to know about bladder irrigation, including its types, procedure, benefits, risks, and recovery.
Bladder irrigation is a procedure where a sterile fluid is passed through the bladder to remove debris, blood clots, or infectious material. It is often used post-surgery, in cases of urinary tract infections (UTIs), or to manage chronic catheter use.
The main goal is to keep the bladder clean, prevent infection, and maintain catheter patency. It’s also used therapeutically to treat infections and prevent complications like bladder stones or hematuria.
While both involve flushing the bladder, bladder irrigation is continuous or scheduled flushing, often via a catheter. Bladder wash typically refers to a one-time cleansing or diagnostic procedure.
There are several methods depending on the condition and patient needs:
A three-way catheter delivers a constant flow of sterile solution (usually saline) into the bladder. Commonly used to prevent clot retention following bladder or prostate surgery.
This method is used to prevent blockage or buildup in chronic indwelling catheters and is performed at regular intervals.
A manual syringe flush is used in this method, typically for immediate clearing of clots or debris. It’s quick but often less thorough than CBI.
Yes. Bladder irrigation must be performed using aseptic techniques to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs).
While homemade saline is possible, it is not recommended for bladder irrigation due to the need for sterility.
