    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical treatments
    • Hemorrhage management

    Background:

    • Severe bladder hemorrhage poses significant clinical challenges.
    • Existing treatments for intractable bladder bleeding can have limitations or risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of alum irrigation for treating severe bladder hemorrhage.
    • To report clinical outcomes in patients managed with this therapeutic approach.

    Main Methods:

    • A case series of 5 patients with severe bladder hemorrhage was analyzed.
    • Treatment involved continuous bladder irrigation with alum solution.
    • Treatment duration and patient outcomes were monitored.

    Main Results:

    • Alum irrigation successfully halted severe bladder hemorrhage in all 5 patients.
    • Hemorrhage cessation occurred within 12 to 48 hours of initiating irrigation.
    • No toxic side effects were observed in any patient, despite one instance of intra-abdominal spillage.

    Conclusions:

    • Alum irrigation is a safe and effective treatment for severe bladder hemorrhage.
    • This method offers a viable option for managing intractable bladder bleeding with minimal adverse events.
