Duration of Catheter Use

Ericmacson

I hope to get the answers that you want.

I insert a catheter when I go through about 2 depends a day. I sometimes leak, other times I can't control my urine. I have a very overactive bladder and after the botox injections I almost go back to normal for about 2 to 2-½ months. I see the Dr. who does the botox injections in Feburary, so till then I will wear a catheter. That way I don't have the leakage, some days it is worse than others. The botox Dr. sees me every 4 months.

When I take my catheter out, I pee normally. I don't ever take it out to pee, all my urine drains into my overnight bag.

Monday's are the worst day. I take two extra diuretics and I produce a lot of urine. In about 5 hours, I produce 2000 ml, all day long it is pee, pee, pee. I could fill a 4000 ml bag in about 10 hours.

I also like the feel of the catheter in me when I touch myself. I can feel the catheter in my penis.

As to UTI's, years ago when I was rather stupid I got a couple, but now, for about 2 years, I have not had any. I make sure I clean the catheter every day, I use some triple antibiotic ointment on my penis where the catheter comes out of the urethra. This also supplies some lube so the catheter can move freely.

I make sure I have clean hands, a clean penis and I make sure the catheter comes out of the packaging.

I don't use a leg bag, I fill them up way too quickly. I use an overnight bag all the time. I have to empty it about 4 or 5 times a day.

I did have to take some anti-biotics before I had my botox injections. They killed off something I had in my bladder. It seems the Dr.'s office wasn't too concerned, the drugs worked and I got one more pill during the botox injections.

I make sure I use hand sanitizer on my hands before I insert the catheter.I have also used that on my penis before I insert the catheter, or I use the alcohol free wipes they give you before you give a unine sample at the Dr.'s office.

I do enjoy wearing a catheter. The Dr.'s office said I could change it at home, I don't have to go to the urologist's office to get my catheter changed. I checked today, I misunderstood the nurse on Friday. So I had a catheter in me for 43 days, the Urologist's office said to change them every 30 days. I will stick to that schedule.

I hope I have answered your questions.

After prostatectomy I wore one for about 3 weeks as the reconstructed neck of the bladder healed. It never leaked, I never developed an infection, and didn’t find it a huge inconvenience. After that, I certainly learned to enjoy careful sound play, and look forward to a cysto any time my doc decides she’d like to do one.

Czorro,

Thanks very much for the long detailed reply. I appreciate hearing about how you do things.

Czorro, do you ever find the catheter in your penis to be erotic enough that you masturbate and have orgasms while it’s in?

Thanks,

Eric

Eric,

I checked with the urologist's office, via a nurse. I asked if I could masturbate with a catheter in me. They said they would not recommend it.

I have masturbated with a catheter in me. I worried that something bad would happen, but I then thought, nothing bad will happen. I have read most of the posts on uretheral play and some have reported that masturbating with a catheter in them was awesome. I never experienced anything like that.

I have masturbated with a catheter in me and I didn't feel anything special. Since I have a FR-30 with about 38cc in the balloon. When I come, it just comes out along the catheter. I get the normal feelings that come from masturbation. I enjoy it, it feels different in a way. Since I am old, I don't get a huge amount of ejaculate, but what does come out is just semen, no sperm since I had a vasectomy many years ago. It is about the same with a catheter in me or without a catheter in me.

I find that when I wash myself with the catheter in me, I get hard and then I masturbate. I wish I could do that everyday, but it doesn't always happen. I can masturbate in the shower with soap, I also masturbate with lube on my hand and penis. I prefer lube and how that works out. All of this is good in the end.

I have to also mention as to why I wear a catheter. Before the botox injections, I would get an alert that I needed to go to the bathroom. I would turn from the sink to head to the bathroom, about 12 feet away, and I would empty my bladder. I would leak urine also. Thus I would go through 3 to 4 Depends a day.

So I chose to use a catheter, no leakage, I could drink what I wanted.

My wife is going to be gone for a week come the first of June and I was thinking about trying to wear a catheter during that full entire week she's gone. I just don't know if I can do it or not, I would really like to try and see if I could accomplish this.

I've done a cath for 2-3 weeks at a time and the "no control" issue can be kinky.

I had one for 3 months before my prostatectomy. It was changed 1x/month.

I had one for several weeks following prostatectomy. The leg bag can be a nuisance at times, had another one for a day following hip replacement. Both were done under anesthesia.

Try a belly bag:

Drink a liter every 8 hours, at least. Little ointment at tip of penis if it rubs on the dry catheter. If using a leg bag instead of belly bag get a Conveen Security; has a wide upper band, and drains with a flip. Drain often so the weight of a full bag will not be a problem

Have medical insurance up to date in case of infection. Last tip: If you are not feeling comfortable at any point, quit. Nothing bad happens if you quit other than your pride. However if your discomfort is a sign of something going wrong and you leave it in, something bad will happen.

I had a catheter for 8 months while waiting for surgeries. Despite all my efforts I had one UTI which needed antibiotics. I think a permanent catheter for even a short time like a week is still a risk its not worth taking. A UTI isn't fun.

Have passed one year now with a catheter in me. Once a month changes with a few times needing to change it more often as I tend to plug them up.

I have to wear full time for medical reasons, If you keep the penis clean, clean from penis to the Y on the catheter at least three times a day. Keep the "hair" short making cleaning easier/germ/bacteria free you should not have any problems.

Don't wear underwear more then once. If you drop "trow" change them. It's work to keep it clean, It must be done every day without fail. If you develop O.C.D. keeping it clean you shouldn't have any problems.

By cleaning I mean disinfecting wipes, hand sanitizer an alcohol wipes. Clean it often enough that you have to convince yourself that you aren't just playing with it. Clean the night bag and leg bags with vinegar, clean the bag connections with disinfecting wipes before "hooking up".

If you explain to another person how much and how often you clean yourself and they think you are crazy, You are probably doing it right and won't get a U.T.I.

Go for it, there are times I feel I can go longer, and other times I want nothing more than it out. I’ve yet to go longer than 24 hours.

I'm trying the same thing, got it in on Saturday afternoon. I feel comfortable as of right now and will change it after 6-7 days. Love to Cath myself and the feeling of helpless it gives me.

I get hard when I put a catheter in my penis! I have never kept one in for more that a couple of days, and was hard the whole time.!

Same for me, always hard just thinking of it.

I started to wear a catheter permanent last week. I enjoy it very much.

Longest I have gone is three days I don’t do them much usually with my occasional playmate she is a Rn and will cath me for a weekend with her. We are not doing it often due to infection risks etc. it is definitely fun when we go to dinner or something knowing I’m cathed and no one else in the restaurant knows.

If you clamp your catheter off with a plug or a valve, when your bladder gets too full it will simply leak around the catheter onto everything.

My wife has an SP cath due to bladder retention issues. Sometimes at night if she lays on the drain line and pinches it off, she leaks pee through her urethra if her bladder gets full. Leaks find a way out!
