The organs found in the suprapubic region include the bladder and part of the large intestine (specifically the sigmoid colon). This area is located in the lower part of the abdomen, just above the pubic bone.
The bladder stores urine before it is urinated out of the body.
Potential causes of bleeding in the bladder infection include irritation of the bladder lining, inflammation of the bladder walls, or the presence of bladder stones.
The ICD-9 code for hypotonic bladder is 596.54. This code is used to document the condition of a hypotonic bladder, which is characterized by reduced muscle tone in the bladder causing difficulty with emptying the bladder completely.

Samples of urine from children who are not toilet trained can be obtained by "clean voided" bag samples, suprapubic bladder aspiration (SPA), or transurethral bladder catheterization (TUBC). SPA and TUBC are invasive but are the only valid ways to collect urine for culture in febrile young infants under two months of age and older infants and children with unexplained fever who are younger than two years of age and ill enough to merit immediate antimicrobial therapy.
Major complications are rare and may include bowel perforation, entero-cutaneous fistula, bladder perforation, fracture with intra-cavity loss of catheter fragment, knotting of the catheter, catheter migration into the ureter, and an increased risk of bladder cancer.
The exact number of people in the U.S. using a suprapubic catheter is not widely published, but estimates suggest that thousands of individuals rely on this type of catheter, particularly those with long-term urinary retention or bladder dysfunction. Suprapubic catheters are often used in patients who require long-term urinary management due to conditions like spinal cord injuries or neurological disorders. The prevalence can vary based on factors such as healthcare access and specific medical conditions.
