Likely from recent catheter. Take regular paracetamol. Make sure not constipated. All the best. www.jgsr-health-education.in

He has chronic cardiac failure, bilateral renal cysts,  enlarged prostate.  He should consult a physician physically for clinical examination and treatment accordingly.

Your father (79 years old) has: • Burning lower abdominal sensation for 4 days • Recent catheter for 5 days • Urine flow normal • On Ciprofloxacin for 3 days • Urine culture: No growth • Urine routine: Mild pus cells (3–4), otherwise normal • Ultrasound: • Moderate prostatomegaly • Bilateral simple renal cysts (benign) • Grade I fatty liver • Bilateral basal pleural effusion with passive hepatic congestion (suggestive of heart strain) Important conclusion: This does NOT look like an active urinary infection (culture is negative). Continuing antibiotics is unlikely to help. Most likely cause of his burning pain is: • Post-catheter bladder irritation • Bladder spasm • Prostate-related irritation • Mild inflammatory cystitis (non-bacterial) At his age, after 5 days catheterization, this is common. The ultrasound heart-related findings are separate but important and need cardiology follow-up.
Next Steps
✔ Discuss stopping Ciprofloxacin (since culture is negative) ✔ Urology consultation for: • Post-void residual urine • Prostate assessment ✔ Kidney function and electrolytes check ✔ Consider bladder antispasmodic (doctor prescribed) Urgent hospital visit if: • Fever • Confusion • Reduced urine output • Severe abdominal pain • Increasing breathlessness (due to pleural effusion) Also, cardiology review is important because pleural effusion + hepatic congestion suggests fluid overload from heart condition.
Health Tips
✔ Maintain moderate hydration (do not overload fluids due to heart condition) ✔ Avoid acidic juices ✔ Continue Rapilif for prostate ✔ Monitor urine output daily ✔ Watch for swelling in legs or breathlessness Right now, this appears to be post-catheter inflammatory bladder irritation, not infection, but because he is 79 with heart disease and ultrasound signs of congestion, this situation needs careful medication balancing. I strongly recommend booking an online consultation with all reports and medication list so we can review everything together and create a coordinated cardiology + urology plan to prevent complications and give him proper relief safely.
