FAQ
When is topical anesthesia with Cathejell used?
Topical anesthesia with Cathejell is used to reduce the sensitivity of mucous membranes before medical procedures that may cause discomfort through contact with the tissues. The need for topical anesthesia is determined by the doctor based on the type, extent, and location of the procedure.
Cathejell may be used as part of the preparation for certain urological and other procedures where surface anesthesia is required. If a procedure calls for a different method of anesthesia, the doctor selects the appropriate option based on the clinical situation.
How does Cathejell work and how is the anesthesia performed?
Cathejell contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic that temporarily blocks the transmission of pain signals in the treated area. The gel is applied directly to the mucous membrane before the planned procedure, after which sufficient time is allowed for the anesthetic effect to develop.
Once the anesthetic takes effect, the doctor performs the required procedure. The duration and effectiveness of anesthesia depend on the method of application, the amount of the medication used, and the nature of the procedure.
Is Cathejell safe to use?
Cathejell is used when indicated and with consideration of the patient’s individual characteristics. Before using it, the doctor assesses possible contraindications and the risk of reactions to lidocaine or other components of the medication.
Be sure to tell your doctor if you have previously experienced allergic reactions to local anesthetics or other medications. Cathejell should not be used independently before medical procedures; it is administered as part of a specific procedure at the discretion of a healthcare professional.
