What is the urine that remains in the bladder after urination called?
The urine that remains in the bladder after urination is called "post-void residual" (PVR) urine. It is the amount of urine left in the bladder after a person has completed urination. High levels of PVR can indicate issues with bladder function or urinary obstruction.
What is gross prostatomegaly is noted with significant postvoid residual?
Prostatomegaly means that the prostate is enlarged. Post-void residual means that the bladder does not completely empty after you pee.
What is cpt code 51798?
CPT code 51798 refers to the "measurement of post-void residual urine and/or bladder capacity by ultrasound." This procedure is commonly used to assess urinary retention and bladder function, typically performed after a patient voids to evaluate the amount of urine left in the bladder. The use of ultrasound for this purpose is non-invasive and provides valuable information for diagnosing urinary issues.
What is post micturation residue?
You may be thinking of post micturation residual urine. This is what it is called in medical terminology when someone is unable to completely empty their urinary bladder when they urinate. There can be urine still left in the bladder that can't be emptied for different reasons (prostate enlargement in men, bladder weakness from childbirth in women, etc.). The amount of "residual" (left over) urine in the bladder is measured to see how big the problem may be. If allowed to sit and not be emptied, this residual urine can cause chronic infections and other urinary system problems.Measuring the retained urine can be done by using a tube (catheter) to drain the urine from the bladder and then measure the amount, or it can be done by using a nifty non-invasive hand-held ultrasonic bladder scanner that can measure urinary retention from the outside.These measurements of the residual urine are also used when a person has needed a urinary catheter for a while during an illness, injury, or after surgery but now has had it removed, so that it can be checked to be sure that the bladder is fully functioning again and ready and able to empty itself. The catheter may need to be put back in place for a while if there is still too much "residual".This is also called "Post-void residual urine". Voiding and micturating are words that both mean "urinating."If the question is about a residue left in the bladder after urinating, then that could be referencing kidney or bladder stones, sludge in the bladder from an infection, or other matter left in the bladder that could not be eliminated or passed. But that is not usually referred to as "post micturation residue", more likely it would be called "debris" in the bladder or the actual name of the particular "residue/matter" such as bladder stones (cystoliths), or other medical terms for the specific condition.
After a trial without catheter how much urine does there have to be in your bladder for you to be recatheterised bladder scan?
Usually guidelines vary as to how much urine there has to be within the bladder. This amount can be assessed either by a bladder scanner or by inserting a catheter, draining the urine, and removing it or keeping it there if the amount is over the limit stipulated by the guidelines available. The amount of urine (residual urine) is between 150mls (least amount found in the literature and 250mls. Obviously, the amount alone is not a good indication. The number of previous voiding episodes and the amount voided in each, together with age and thickness of the bladder wall are things to be considered. For example, is one has passed an average of 150mls of urine per void on 3 or 4 occasions, a residual on scan of 150mls will not warrant catheterisation since most likely that will be voided in the next void. What I mean is that there is no cut off point and the picture is different for every patient seen.
What should the nurse tell the patient if he complains of pain and dribbling of urine at 1st void after an indwelling catheter has been removed from a prostatectomy on the second post operative day?
complaints are common and will improve over the next few days
What is it when a men is dripping urine?
When a man is dripping urine, it may indicate a condition known as post-void dribbling, which occurs when urine remains in the urethra after urination, leading to leakage. This can be caused by various factors, including prostate issues, pelvic floor dysfunction, or urinary tract infections. It can be uncomfortable and may require medical evaluation to address the underlying cause and determine appropriate treatment.
The term urinate and void are the same thing true or false?
When you urinate, you void your bladder, so they are the same. Void means "empty" or "to emptly" in medical terminology..ANSWERto void something means it is non existent, to empty your bladder just means that you are emptying it of urine but it isn't void of urine as the bladder remains with moisture in it and is still a bladder. To void is to make it extinguished from reality, and is not the same. So the answer is "false"Clarification:Medical professionals use the term "void" when referring to the emptying of the bladder. The first answer is correct - they are they same when referring to urination. So the answer in reference to the question is "true".Webster's definition of ''void'' is 1. not legally binding, invalid; 2. having no contents, empty."
What is post decrement?
Post decrement is where you decrease the variable by one after using it. void someFunc(int s) { printf(s); } void main() { int s = 3; someFunc(s--); printf(s); } will output 3 then 2.
What is normal post void residue in bladder in cc in adult age 56 years?

What are the lab values of BPH?
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is typically diagnosed through clinical evaluation rather than specific lab values. However, elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels can be associated with BPH, although they are not definitive for the condition, as they can also indicate prostate cancer or prostatitis. Urinalysis may show signs of urinary tract infection or hematuria, while post-void residual urine volume can be assessed through ultrasound to determine bladder emptying efficiency. Overall, lab values are used to rule out other conditions rather than diagnose BPH directly.
How does hold urine?
Holding urine involves the bladder, which stores urine until it's convenient to release it. The bladder stretches as it fills, signaling the brain when it's time to void. Muscles, including the pelvic floor and sphincters, help control the release of urine. Over time, holding urine too long can lead to discomfort or potential health issues, so it's important to respond to the body's signals.
