What to do for erections while foley cathed for longer periods.

The last time I had a foley in, it was for about 18 hours. It was placed just before going to sleep. As I was trying to fall asleep, I could feel myself becoming erect, and as a result my urethra would "climb" up the catheter. Then as I would become flaccid it would slide back down. This repeated throughout the night. I am a "grower" so my length basically doubles during erections. Initially it felt good, but as the night went on, the lube had dried up, and it started to become a little irritating. By the next day, the tip of my urethra was gripping the dry catheter and during erections would slightly invert the tip of my penis a couple milimeters during these erections. What do you guys do to prevent this irritation? Adding lube to the tip seems like the obvious solution, but I am afraid that the climbing and retracting of the urethra over the catheter would a good way to increase the likleyhood of getting an infection. Also, frequent relubercation would not always be a pratical option, especially when dressed. Your ideas would be greatly appriciated.

Thank you.

Just wear a tight chastity cage! You will stay in one place and not slide around

Silicone lube?

Let's see, ice cubes, avoid erections, rubber mallet -reflex hammer to the balls. Those are the quick answers, assuming you are discussing a male

As a "Retired Nurse" and PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I CAN TELL YOU, that sometime there is NO WAY to prevent an Erection when a Foley Catheter is placed in the Urethra.. The "ANATOMY" is structured so the "prostate pressure" is "influenced" from unusual "objects" are placed into the body.

Think about this for a second: "A foley is PLACED in the "Penis" to expand the "Urethra" for urine to flow freely from what many would say are "unusual" reasons PHYSICALLY/MEDICALLY NECESSARY to have a foley placed.

The most common, is USUALLY when Prostate Surgery is performed (also known as a "TURP"). ALSO, anesthesia 90 % of the time "slows down" the urine flow, as the entire body is put to sleep, literally "stopping" 99% of the circulatory system. So men, IF you have to have a foley Catheter, ASK the Urologists to use "a generous amount" of LIDOCAINE GEL" and helps with 1). COMFORT, 2.) DISCOMFORT 3. SEMI PAIN CONTROL 4. TO KEEP THE TUBE AND LACK OF CIRCULATION FROM "DRYING OUT" the Urethra, it WILL provide comfort, however accept the fact that You WILL OR MAY have an "UN EXPECTED" ERECTION. Thank you for taking time to read my comments. I HOPE this

I wish I had an answer to the OP's problem. My penis is not that long, soft or hard. So I have never had that problem. I do get hard most times I insert a catheter, but that only lasts a few minutes. Even when I masturbate, my penis never gets that "big".

Drying of the catheter around the tip of the penis seems to be a common problem. You would think the medical community would have an answer for this after all these years... Maybe a new style of catheter needs be invented. Something that anchors at the tip of the penis, somehow, and seal there. This way when you get an erection the catheter would pull out slightly but those areas of the catheter would stay lubed.

How about this! A new type of catheter that is a lot more flexible in length. It could dry out all it wants because it would stretch some with your erection.... Just thinking!!

Enjoy

Just add some lube.

Just like others said: enjoy!

I too have this problem, when I’m asleep and it grows I wake up to pain of things being pulled in. I am tempted to try to slide a condom catheter on the end of the foley, insert and roll the condom on and fill with lube which would act as a reservoir keeping everything lubed up

I wish I had an answer as I was castrated before going on a Foley

My last surgery i had my bladder went to sleep and it took a week to wake up.

They had to catheterize me for that week. Will this be the norm for me now on if and when I have surgery?

I am a full time Foley user. I use onely silicone Foleys. I lubricate by applying triple antibiotic ointment to the tip of my penis twice per day. It helps with erections and helps prevent urethera splitting.

So far I don't grow when I fall asleep, that I know of. I wash myself off every day and when I dry off I put Triple antibiotic ointment on the tip of my penis. I make sure that I have it all lubed up and so far that seems to work without any problem.

I want to keep any infection from happening. I don't think that is a problem. The urologist says not to masturbate with a catheter in me. I have done that, some get a huge thrill doing that, I have found that masturbating with a catheter in me is not a big deal. I don't masturbate all that often, so when I do, I have some leakage of what comes out.

You could also use some vaseline to lubricate the catheter. I am not sure how that will react with a catheter. A silicone one, would not be a problem, but a latex one probably would be a problem over time.

My urologist says to wear a catheter for 30 days and then change it out for a new one.

… helps prevent urethera splitting.

Yikes! I cringed just reading that.
