Catheters

I have started playing with a catheter and have a question. How long does it take before it stops hurting after i take it out. The pain is not that much while i am inserting it,but when i take it out it hurts like hell when i piss

Everyone is different.

Some people never have pain, others always have pain.

Some get urinary tract infections that are hard to eradicate which becomes more common in older people.

So true!! i've had so many patients who don't seem to feel a thing, then others who howl. The first time i took a foley is because i brought one home from the hospital where i work so i could insert it into myself and feel how it feels. Now i just talk to and ask my patients before insertion and if they have any trepidation i use lidocaine gel first.

The answer depends on several things, mostly how much trauma you do to the urethra.

What size and quality the catheter is, is important. How well lubed everything is, is important.

How genital you are inserting the catheter will play a part. I am sure, how often you insert things into your urethra will be another determining factor. THere are videos of people who insert things without lube , like its nothing. They obviously have gotten use to doing this.

What ever you do, don't confuse urethra trauma burning with the burning of an infection. THese are to different problems, but feel very much the same. An infection will constantly bother you. Urethra trauma only when you pee.

That is not necessarily true.

You can have asymptomatic urinary tract infections

I use to do catheters and other penal insertions for the fun of it. Did several online shows in the old ya... chat rooms. There was always an audience for that type of show. The sounds I used were homemade as were the catheters. Replacement car antennas with the ball tips worked great as sounds, well sterilized by boiling water and alcohol. Never had an issue with that and I could curve it before insertion to go deeper. Real catheters were not readily available back then and I was more creative. Three to four feet of quarter inch aquarium tubing one end stretched to form a slender tip or just straight, sanded with 800 grit sandpaper to round off the tip, put lightly over an open flame to remove any mini burrs. Both types worked. It was painless going in and did the job.

It was all good until I got a urinary tract infection. The infection, I believe, was from the tubing I used for the catheter. I wasn’t always careful about disinfecting it. I usually just washed it with soap and water. I was much younger then and not as wise as now. It probably had some bacteria on it. At first I didn’t know I had it, but then I couldn’t control myself and often leaked significantly. A lot of times I didn’t even know I peed until I felt the wetness. At first I thought just an accident but it was like that for 2 days and I looked it up and concluded it was a urinary tract infection. It took about a week to clear up on its own drinking lots of cranberry juice (recommended online) and I stopped the penal insertion shows. I have never done any insertions since.

From my experience, the pain from urination just after catheter withdrawal didn’t go away for about a day. Normally overnight it wouldn’t be there the next day. It was only near the glans and during the initial flow. Once I got going the pain wasn’t there and it felt more like a minor irritation and not very noticeable until the next time I peed. I found the best way to reduce and sometimes even prevent the pain was to use a lot of lube (I use to squeeze some into my penis near the head) and to use a smaller tube. Sometimes the minor irritation caused during the flow of urine would cause me to orgasm. That was something. But that only happened a few times and wasn’t worth the initial pain I had to endure.

I add baking soda to a bottle of water about 1/4 TSP per bottle it lowers the PH of the urine stops the burning when you pee and help to protect you from infections ..only do this about an hour before you remove the catheter and only to 2 bottles of water that's all you need...try it...I am 62 and still love my catheter play/fun..

Ok so I have a dumb question when it comes to Foley catheters is bigger better ??? I currently us an 18 FR I would like to try a 22 or 24 work my way to a 30FR any suggestions...THANKS

That is probably because you are scraping the urethra walls while inserting and/or removing the Catheter, and the acidity of the urine is irritating the area. You must use the right size Catheter for your urethra and PLENTY of sterile lubrication. Then you should gently and slowly insert a sterile catheter.

When removing it, make sure the retention 'bulb' is fully deflated first. Then slowly pull out the Catheter.
