Have YOU been catheterized ?

Further to my previous entry on this topic where I said it was on my “to do” list, I was recently diagnosed as having a high PSA level and subsequently had an MRI scan to see why.

Side note - GET YOUR PSA LEVEL CHECKED if you have a prostate.

The scan showed I had an enlarged prostate and an enlarged bladder that I hadn’t completely emptied. The MRI operator told me to come back in a couple of days if I hadn’t managed to empty it so that I could be catheterised. I’ve not done so but future, possibly imminent, ablation treatment will probably include the use of a catheter for a short while as things heal. Something for later in the year.

I had a foley when in surgery for an inguinal hernia, but I was anesthetized. They removed it before I woke up. But the nurse in recovery insisted that I pee before being discharged. I couldn't, so she threatened to cath me again. Then a portable ultrasound tech arrived and determined that my bladder was still empty, so she let me go after promising to come back if I had trouble peeing. I've actually fantasized about being cathed, but it just didn't seem like the right time, and it probably would have hurt due to the foley during surgery.

Being catheterized in a clinical setting is vastly different from the kinky stuff.

In a hospital they only lubed the tip (and first few inches), they used some chinesium stuff and did it fast. Plus your mind isn't at ease.

The kinky stuff uses better lube, goes slowly, you usually have a good shower prior to be squicky clean and about 8-10 cc of lube goes into the urethra first. Totally different animal.

Just saying...

@Xperience You are absolutely correct. I had a catheter placed during surgery and it was in place for about four weeks. after an extensive second surgery the catheter was remove. that night I had retention issues and had to be catherized. I was so surprized, a uroligist came in with the nurse and quickly catherized me. they did no prep no batadine prep, just lubed a catheter and in it went. there was no pain or anything, it was total relief. but I was surprised by the no prep. I do more cleaning and sanitizing when I do my intermittant caterizations at home for dialation. luckily I didnt get an infection.

I have, by myself, and it was fabulous lol

Never.

No, I never have been. I have really mixed feelings about this. First, I would really like to know the feeling of having it done the how it feels to have it in.Can you get an erection when it is in place? Can you cum when it is in? I would be curious to experience having it done and all, but how? Maybe someone can fill me in.

Never

As it with several members on this thread, I was catheterized once as a result of surgery. I was out when it was inserted. It was removed when I got out of recovery and I was moved to my room. I didn't have any discomfort when the nurse removed it.

When I had a bladder tumor removed years ago, my bladder sphincter decided to take a break, and shortly after returning home from that procedure, I was unable to empty my bladder. Headed for the local emergency room, which was crowded, and apparently my very full bladder wasn’t high on their priority list that night. I was finally taken to a room, and a very kind nurse told me that was a frequent result of bladder surgery/anesthesia, and she further explained she’d cath me to “jump start” my sphincter. She quickly grasped my penis, shot in a numbing gel, explained that she’d prefer to wait until the gel numbed me, but since I was so miserable, she was going to insert the catheter immediately. Which, to my great relief she did, and I didn’t mind a little discomfort as it went in, and I was able to drain my bladder into a bedpan. I asked her if she thought my sphincter was now awake and ready to return to duty, and she assured me that all

Should be well - and she was correct. Never had that issue again.

Only under anesthesia
