My husband's catheter experience and stories

The doctor

I was not even aware of how much points of recommendation I had filled, so far from the list that Diana gave me. Almost all, at the beginning I thought maybe I would accept 1 or 2, only those I can check, Every day I checked a little and finally filled, not only those 32, I wrote, but a lot more, and those notes I typed without the ordinal number. In total, 100. The last unexplored recommendation for Hubby, was to remove all his pubic hairs. I searched this item online, but I did not find satisfactory answers.

One morning on a Sunday I walked through my street and met our neighbor doctor surgeon to clean the garden. Suddenly I had the idea of asking him something about it. The doctor was a lot younger than me, very attractive, active, fine, one of the top surgeons in our town. The doctor was muscular, powerful, but I was never sure if he was bald, or shaved his head like Skin Heads. I have to say that he attracted me, although he was married. After common talk, type haw are you, nice whether, what you are doing, etc. I propose him that would be good idea to have a small break for Me and Doctor, because it was a hot day, and we both got tired and sweaty. We were hiding in the shade beneath the tree on the bench. I asked him:

Me: I'm curious, Why the patient is shaved before each surgical operation?

Dr.: There's a lot of answer, First I have to see what I'm doing, then I have to stitch the patient on the end, and imagine to stitch the hair inside, there are still at least 10 reasons for that.

Me: Tell me more, I'm just curious.

Dr: The patient must be washed, disinfected, imagine to be a bunch of hair. Later we put the bandage, the wound has to be looked at, this would be impossible especially with hairy men, or at some places on the female body. That's the way it is.

I can tell you one case, while I was young, when I was specializing surgery, generally we do not talk about that, this is considered our ethics, but I will tell you as a colleague. We operated the most common routine intervention. He was an old doctor, when he wiped his forehead, Then he dropped his cap, which fell exactly at the site of the operation. As a young doctor, as this was my first operation, I remembered all the least details, I saw very well what happened. Not to spend more time with the story, that young patient did not end well. There was an investigation, they all confirmed that everything was under the protocol, and that something unpredictable, unlucky, just happened.

Only after I gained the experience years later, I analyzed what actually happened, I understood and can explain it. The doctor dropped his cap. and together with a cap, many hairs have fallen, and dandruff. The assistant washed that out, obviously not enough. These tiny impurities have caused sepsis. The doctor was very old, after this case, he was immediately retired, no one mentioned the cap. Since then, as you can see, my hairstyle, corresponds to my profession.

Me: The story is very interesting. And the hair on the body? What about them, women mostly get rid of everything, is it hygienically justified?

Dr: This is an easy and tough question at the same time. It's a matter of culture, customs, fashion, aesthetics, legacy, there's a lot more. Now I'll explain the best in the example. I'm going to take a fertilizer that I have to spit on the lawn, Now I'm going to put it down, part on the track, part on the grass, and part on the bush. Now your job is to clean the grass and the bush, and I'll clear the path.

I thought the doctor was a little crazy, but an explanation immediately followed. The doctor took the broom and sweep away the path in a couple of seconds. Imagine your skin is my garden, this part where the path is, it's a hairless skin, and this part where is the grass, is the hairy part, and this part where the bush is, that's the most hairy part we call pubic zone. Tell me now, what is easier to clean or wash. The same conclusion applies to our body. Many in the profession disagree with me. There will always be a naturalist who will defend his theory.

Me: You know why I actually ask, It's easy for me, I'm Hairless. I asking for my Hubby, who has problems with prostate, permanent and single catheter use, and UTI.

Dr.: I'm not going to answer you directly, Look at this, When you put a single use catheter, he puts it about four times a day, the risk that one day, he will putt one hair in the bladder is really possible, after 1 year, cancer is developing, and then you come to me at the surgery table. In the case of permanent catheters, there is rubbing and friction on the entry of the catheter into the urethra, the urethra defend herself with secretes its mucus, and this slurry fermented after a while and sticks to the hair, and if it does not lead to thorough daily hygiene, and somehow a flying bacteria land somewhere, all together is an excellent nutrient base for the bacteria.

Me: You made a lot of effort to explain everything to me, in a simple way, in return, I stay here to help you arrange Your garden. I'll cut all the bushes and grass.
