Alum irrigation for severe bladder hemorrhage

E Mukamel et al. J Urol. 1986 Apr.

Abstract

We report 5 cases of severe bladder hemorrhage treated with alum irrigation. The severe hemorrhage stopped in all patients after 12 to 48 hours of irrigation. No toxic side effects were noted in all 5 patients, including 1 in whom intra-abdominal spillage of the solution occurred after spontaneous rupture of the bladder.
