Catheter

I am older mid aged guy who was in hospital for first time and had catheters three times----I do not consider myself a hero but i was embarrassed as I shouted when they were inserting them----It hurt when they first started to put it in and must have scraped inside of my penis when they were putting it in further-----Frankly I never shout at anyone so I was embarrassed at how i reacted----Have any other guys who had catheters inserted recact as i did??? i apologized to the nurse afterward and he said pro athelets were the worst when the get a catheter-----any comments apprecaited

It's an "interesting" sensation for guys the first time. You probably just didn't expect it to feel the way it did in contrast to it actually hurting. Many guys and some women love the sensation of catheters and sounds.

I have had two catheters inserted. Both were done when I was staying overnight in a hospital while I was having a heart ablation for AFIB. Both were inserted while I was under anesthesia. But when the catheters were removed the next morning before leaving the hospital it was very painful. The catheter felt like it was dragging against my urethra and it created a burning sensation.

A few years later I learned about guys who did sounding. My first reaction was well this could only hurt like the catheter. I have never done sounding but I am curious about it and maybe willing to try in the future. I later found out that the reason the catheter removal in the hospital hurt so bad was that lube used to insert the catheter had dried out or maybe had been absorbed in the tissue making the removal very painful. Sounding with lube might actually be something that can be pleasurable.

I had to be cathed twice after surgery. The first time was by a nurse or assistant possibly who I'm pretty sure was enjoying doing it. I was nervous as hell. It hurt a bit, but in a good way I guess. She spent a lot of time preping me. The things that happened prior lead me to believe that she wanted to do it. For example she would walk in on me in the bathroom trying to pee. She did like 3 sonograms (i think that is what they are) on my bladder. She kept asking the nurse if i needed a cath and the nurse would say no, but eventually the nurse gave in. Anyway I had to go back for another followup surgery and in my notes I guess she, or someone, had written something saying that I require cath until my bladder wakes up. So because of that I had another one. It was not as good as the first, but I still enjoyed it.

I had a catheter inserted during an op, just woke up with it there.

It wasn't working too well, so the nurse extracted and then reinserted it. Just a little discomfort, but no more than that.

A few days later it was removed.

I wonder how many of us have spent the morning dreaming about Susie giving us that “interesting” sensation?

If they have lubed your uretha correctly then the insertion of the catheter shouldnt hurt unless its a pipefitter whos into medfet whos inserting it...

In our hospital if you are over 65 you get cathedral for surgery requiring general anesthesia.

I was surprised the first time...always done will under twilight drug.

Lucky to have the prettiest young nurse remove it first time. She was a 11 on the 10 scale.

I managed a little wood to help get a handhold just to be helpful. 😉

When I was in for bypass surgery I was looking forward to getting mine, hopefully by a sweet young thing who enjoyed doing it. My loss, it was in when I awoke and I had no great experience. Removing it was a zero too. The nurse was a nondescript female who said push like you're peeing as she held me in one hand and pulled it out with the other.

I too would like to have Susie on the insertion side if you mean Switchable. I bet she could make it a real pleasure or whatever else she felt like making it.

Susie, I don't recall you discussing it, but with everything else you two play with, do you and your husband ever do catheters to each other? Or are you like me and too concerned about UTIs and/or urethral damage to do it? I'm really honestly curious about how a flexible latex catheter would feel after getting used to it a few times, but not gonna go there. I have enough penis/prostate issues already to add any more.

About half the time when I had a catheter inserted, my urethra had been numbed for a procedure and the catheter didn’t hurt or else I was under anesthetia. The other times, I found the insertion uncomfortable but the only time I actually yelled was when I was a kid. I do usually make a face.

I think there is quite a difference in how a catheter is inserted in the US compared to the UK. In the UK its standard procedure to use Instillagel which is an Anaesthetic Antiseptic Lubricant.

Instillagel is a sterile gel containing a local anaesthetic and antiseptic presented in a sterile package.

Active ingredients are (in each 100 grams):-

Lidocaine Hydrochloride (Local anaesthetic) 2.000g

Chlorhexidine Gluconate Solution (Antiseptic) 0.250g

Methyl Hydroxybenzoate (E21😎 (Antiseptic) 0.060g

Propyl Hydroxybenzoate (E216) (Antiseptic) 0.025g

in a gel made with Hydroxyethylcellulose, Propylene Glycol and Purified Water.

The gel comes in disposable syringes each containing either 6ml or 11ml. Instillagel is used when putting a tube or instrument into a body cavity. It contains a local anaesthetic to prevent pain and antiseptics to reduce the risk of infection. It also provides lubrication to ease this process.

Care should be taken when using Instillagel:-

If you have heart problems

If you have liver problems

If you are epileptic

You might feel a slight stinging just after the gel is used, but this stops as soon as the anaesthetic starts to work. Most people find that there are no problems after the gel has been used but there may be a slight soreness when the effect of the local anaesthetic has worn off. If you feel that you have had any reaction to the gel, please tell your doctor as soon as possible.

We always used instillagel for all urinary catheter insertion, even on sedated and unconscious patients and as a result our patients experience less discomfort and have very low instance of catheter induced infection/sepsis.

I have not been a frequent flyer in hospitals so I was really looking forward to the experience of having it inserted. Judging from the after effects I think it was probably good that I was out. I was pissing like I had a fire hose for several weeks after so whatever they shoved in there must have been pretty big and surely would have hurt going in. When they took it out I wasn't paying much attention but I think I did see something that looked about the size of a 1/4" automotive fuel hose which is roughly the size of a round wooden pencil maybe a bit bigger. Later on when I thought about it I couldn't believe anything that big had been inside my tiny pee hole without ripping it wide open.

I thank RN1993 for the above information as I had this gel when I had cystoscopy exam and yes it stings. However my male consultant then proceeded to knead (like pushing mince meat into sausage skins) my penis from top to bottom to make sure that the gel went in as far as possible. This was extremely painful especially when my testicles were in the way and he needed to get the gel past them.! I was then left for 20 minutes before the procedure commenced. All things went smoothly until the scope hit the bladder entrance which gave me a shock and then I had a seizure. I awoke to a sea of faces - about six nurses/doctors were around me. I now believe I had had an epileptic fit (something that I had experienced when younger) but I am not sure that the Gel had anything to do with it. Maybe RN1993 has any comment on this?

Mine was I think a 16th of an inch smaller than that. I had a spinal for knee surgery so couldn't feel it go in, but once it had been removed and I could pee again (I was worried I would have to go back for another there for a while. Legs worked but urethral sphincter didn't) it burned for the rest of the day every time I peed.

I really had to go and might have been hurrying the nurse along though. It was interesting how sensation returned in some parts first, guess it was where the nerve fibers are in the spinal cord.

I have been catheterized with a Foley catheter on more occasions then I would like to think about. Unlike a previous poster I have never passed out from being catheterized. I have had epilepsy as a youth but nothing I've been exposed to has ever caused the seizure. Anyway my first Foley catheter experience was when I slipped on some black ice and went to bed and was unable to urinate the next day. They use the Foley catheter to drain my bladder of blood and then I gain my control back. But with various injuries I've experienced I developed due to neurological damage neurogenic bladder which for some time required me to self cath every time I had to use the restroom. It eventually got better but after a while the symptoms returned I ultimately had a interstim bladder stimulator placed in my back which stimulates my bladder to contract and Aid in urination. Although due to the injuries I have had I now dealing with a neurogenic bladder and I cannot tell when my bladder is full. This becomes a problem at night when sleeping my bladder will overfill and it will release. This is why I now wear diapers to bed.

When I had mine taken out last week, I screamed and I don't normally scream from pain. I was so glad my roomie had been discharged and the next one had not arrived yet.

When they first put my husband a catheter on emergency aid. It was very painful for him. Later we analyzed why. Because they put too little gel. it is necessary to put more. The speed with which the catheter was placed was too high, as the doctor was in a hurry. they scratched his urethra, possible on the transition between prostate and sphincter..

I occasionally put the catheter to my husband. We learned that 5 to 10 ml of instilled gel should be saturated. Squeeze and push the gel that's inside. Wait 5 minutes. Slowly push the catheter. Wrap it up and spin it over to the sphincter. Compress last 5 cm very slowly. Waiting for the urine to flow.

I hope my advice is helpful to you..

With the correct amount of lubricant and good technique, you should not feel any pain during the insertion. I think they may have used bad technique during the insertion.

The The use of catheters for sex games is certainly very pleasant but also has some risks. Catheterization must be performed very cleanly and carefully. Otherwise, a urethral or bladder infection may develop easily. There is also the risk of overstretching the urinary bladder sphincter and causing urinary incontinence. I have also already introduced catheters with CR32. I do not do that often. I prefer to use Hegar Dilators with 12,5 mm diameter, which are only 19cm long and do not go into the urinary bladder. It is enough if the dilator goes through the prostate. This is very pleasant and not as dangerous as catheders. Besides, I still have sterile urine to flush the urethra. So you should urinate after the session.

For a Male patient should be used a min. of 10 ml of gel, for female normally 6 ml are enough.

While I've never had it done to me, I would love to. Although I feel like I'm a bit hesitant about it, just seems like it would be super embarrassing to have done.

Was having some urinary. Issues , so after my dr did a cytoscopy she said she wanted me to use catheters a couple of times a week to open pathway more . Said nurse would show me how . She told me what to do and had me practice in the office . Well in doing I pushed to hard and created a fade passage and blood cane gushing out all over the place . But needless to say I had minor surgery later to fix the problem . But I found putting them in quite enjoyable .

I have not ever had any problem, pain either inserting or removing a catheter. I have found them very enjoyable going in and a real let down when I have to take it out. I get extremely hard when I insert a catheter. After inserting one, about 10 to 15 minutes later, I get soft and the feeling of it being in me is pure pleasure.
