if the question is dealing with exccessive urination it could be caused by an enlarged prostate it could also be the bodies way of releiving itself of exxess fluid possibly from high blood pressure the body gets rid of waste products through the urinary system such as excess sodium,potassium and other by products the body can't use
2/18/2008 Continuous bladder irrigation is also used following a medical procedure to the urinary system. I have seen it used most frequently with prostatectomies. The prostate is extremely vascular and bleeds excessively following removal or reduction. A special foley catheter is inserted into the urethra with a Y type adapter to allow fluids to go both in and out. Large bags of normal saline are used to continually flush the bladder. It is very common for the normal saline to come back out as bright red blood at first. Eventually, the normal saline will run clear and the irrigation can be discontinued soon after. I have not seen many complications but as with any procedure there is a risk of infection. A rupture would also be possible if the output port was clogged and fluid continued to run in. Electrolyte imbalances would be possible as well. This is an impatient procedure so just being in the hospital has its own set of risks.

What happens when air gets in continuous bladder irrigation?
If air gets into continuous bladder irrigation it can cause distention, cramps and depending on how the air got in - INFECTION!!!. Make sure their is a reserved bag of N.S always and change the bag as soon as its empty to make sure their is no air introduced into the bladder. If you are doing irrigation, do not removed the connection from foley and bag, it will cause microorganisms to be introduced. Just cause you see an MD or an experienced nurse do it -does not make it right. Clamp the tubing next to the port and use the port to irrigate the bladder. Even if it means 10cc at a time!
