Doctors reveal shocking case of 70-year-old man who urinated food scraps and smelled bad, revealing the cause
Doctors were shocked when a 70-year-old man urinated vegetable scraps with a foul smell. They examined him under a microscope to find the cause.
Huang Weilun, a urologist, told the story of a man in his 70s who had a catheter inserted and had blood in his urine. After that, he was unable to urinate, so he went for a check-up. When the check-up was performed, it was found that his catheter was very dirty.
Huang Weilun, chief physician of the urology department at E-Tar Hospital, posted on Facebook that after examining the patient, he found that his bladder and colon were connected, which was likely due to chronic constipation, causing the colon to become inflamed and infected, and then connected to the bladder, causing feces to flow into the urinary tract unintentionally.
The treatment required removal and repair of the distal colon and part of the bladder, but because the connecting passage was close to the left ureter, the ureter had to be moved to a new location in the bladder. The surgery took six hours, with the cooperation of the colorectal surgery team.
