Have YOU been catheterized ?

Had acute urinary retention last Fall.., and had Foley inserted by urologist in his office. Burned like fire,but got relief from my over distended bladder. The little rush of blood was a not a pleasant sight. He sent me home with several catheters to use myself once the Foley was removed if I had any further retention. He told me to remove the Foley in 6 days. I was able to urinate fine for about 5 months then I had another bout of retention. I self cathed myself with the straight single use cath and I would not exactly call it erotic with the bleeding that lasted for a few hrs. The good part was I was able to pee after just cathing the one time.

Catheterizing others without proper training and without medical backup is a risky and hazard frought business. Beware!!

Had my every 12 week cystoscopy today. It was quite uncomfortable, as usual but no new bladder tumors were found. I had a new, young medical assistant lady prep. me with a Betadine exterior swab and a xylociane injection in my urethra. All very routine to her and getting routine to me, as well. I'm getting an appreciation for women who have a yearly pelvic. Get to do another one in Oct. (Fun, fun!)

A couple of weeks ago I had a session with an enema nurse. The first thing she did was catheterize me. It was left in through 3 enemas. It was a good experience and I liked the feeling.

I simply don't know why anyone would volunteer to have a catheter except when it's medically necessary. I guess it's the idea of it. To each his own said the old lady as she kissed her cow I guess.

Last time I was catherized was during surgery a year ago. I was put under general anesthesia, catherized while unconscious, then catheter removed before I woke up after surgery. No mention of this during surgery consultation weeks earlier, but it was communicated to me shortly before surgery. Nurses told me penis would be sore for a couple of days while urinating. They were correct, and soreness wore off after a couple of days. I would like to be conscious for catherization next time, if needed...as long as some numbing lotion is applied into urethra first.

When I was about 8 or 9 years old I got my first catheter for a cysteroscopy. But I can't tell about the procedure itself because I got a general anesthesia before. When I woke up I had a tape around my penis and strong pain for a few days when peeing.

The last years I got a few catheters in play. It was never a big problem for me I felt no heavy pain although it isn't comfortable when the catheter is inserted. But I like when it is in. I don't use it frequently or for longer than a day - but sometimes it is nice and the best solution I think.

Years ago during labor. I was induced, had an epidural sometime along the way, and for some reason they put a catheter down there probably to empty bladder since I couldn't walk to the bathroom... I have no idea what was the reason. I did not ask, I wasn't told either, I did not even care. All I wanted was to be done with the whole delivery process. I did not feel anything. I could hardly feel contractions at that point due to the epidural, let alone catheter. I think it was removed before I started pushing.

Way to many times to recall each one. The first was after my back injury. I could no go acute urinary rention. Belive me when you have not gone in 12 hours or so you want relief at any cost. I was thankful the male nurse knew what he was doing. It was not painful. He stopped it at 900 cc as he said taking to much to fast could cause trouble. In all 1200cc they sent me home with it in. This was on a Friday with a appointment on Monday to see a urologist.

When I got to the appointment first thing remove everything from the waist down. Then lay back legs up in stirrups. I waited like this for at least a hour. The nurse had clamped off the tube to allow the bladder to fill somewhat. When the Dr returned he removed the catheter and shot a tube of numbing agent up my ureathea. He did a cystoscope. That did hurt a bit. Next the nurse returned placed a tube in my rectum. And two catheters in my ureathea. Then started to fill my bladder. Asking when I would stop of driving and questions like that. In the end she put 1000th in and I never felt anything. So they said neurogenic bladder. Thought me how to self catheterize. And have been doing so since.it is what is is. You can and will live with what you have to and be thankful because others have it worse. That has fueled my desire for medical fetish.

Yes Once. Had knee surgery and was in a traction brace for 3 days before I could try to walk. I did not mind the catheter but for some reason I got a bladder infection a few days after the cath was removed.

Yes I have, but also had to "self Catholic" for about a month after prostate radiation. At first it seemed awful but I soon got used to it and wished I had resorted to it earlier. A lot of the anxiety connected with it is in the brain.

I came out of surgery with a catheter in place. Iy stayed in place for thirty six hours. when it was removed it was somewhat uncomfortable. at the same time I had yards af vaginal packing removed. I had to hold onto the bed rails. Two doctors removed the packing so rapidly I had to fight being pulled off the bed. It was uncomfortable but it was a rush.

I was in the hospital earlier this year and was catherized in the emergency room so I don't remember too much of it being inserted but 3 days later when they removed it.........WOW! A middle aged nurse asked if I wanted it removed and of course I said yes. She deflated the balloon by removing the water in it with a syringe then suddenly started pulling it out. I think it had healed to me in spots and I swear she had to hand over hand it to get it out...............24 inches long?? Even my wife was impressed at the length of it. I ask if I could keep it but the answer was no and she took it with her. I love sounds and other urethral toys but this one didn't produce any of the erotic feelings I am used to. The situation you are in makes all the difference. Absolutely no enemas as the antibiotics killed all the bacteria and my bowel movements were like enemas. I didn't care as I came out alive!

I never have been, but my friend has lots of times. She hates them and ALWAYS ends up with a UTI afterwards. No one (but her regular doctor) believes her and they just scrub her extra good before inserting it. It's frustrating for her when she gets a cath, but she knows that she needs them, usually, and lets them do it anyways.

Had my every 3 month cystoscopy today. No new bladder tumors, but he did find a kidney stone. I don't have to have it done again for 4 months.

I have once but it was put in during surgery when I was out cold. I had to have it in for a week after surgery. Friends were telling me horror stories about getting it removed and I wasn't looking forward to it. When the day came I went to the doctor and to my surprise his nurse came in and asked if I was ready to get rid of it. I said I sure was and she told me to drop my pants. After using a syringe to deflate the balloon she said here we go and it came out with absolutely no pain at all. I was so relieved and she said it hurts more with some than others.

Yes, but not in play. I think I would like to though.

I enjoy catherizing myself and then using Estim or just masterbating to orgasm. I have never had any problems and just ordered them online. I Like the ones with the balloon and I use surgilube to help with any possible bacteria. For me I found the 18FR works but the 16FR was easier on the urethra. I did not seem to stretch it so much.

Yes many times in play but only once in hospital because of an infection. I really enjoy the experience in play but when it becomes a necessity it is a very different experience.

I too was just admitted to the hospital for another procedure. Since the reason for being there had no relation to my bladder, I thought perhaps it was an error when I saw that there was a Cathy kit and a disposable enema on the adjustable table in my room.

After lots of questions and notes, the nurse told me to change intolerable the gown, and that she would be back in a few minutes so that we could "get started". I did as she said, and still was thinking that the supplies were in the wrong room.

After a few minutes, she returned, not alone but with another cute young woman. She said since I was going to be given a general anesthesia, I was going to be catheterized, and that the other nurse was a student nurse and she would be performing the procedure. At this point it was clear I was not going to escape the fate. I remember flushing with immense embarrassment as I lay back, and the gown was lifted.

They both donned gloves. The older nurse stood above me and told me to give her my hands. She told me I could squeeze her hand as hard as I needed to; I said ok not really understanding why that might be necessary. She then asked if I was ready, and I replied yes. She nodded to the younger nurse, who then asked me to scoot down in the bed as she stood between my legs.

The student nurse then began to clean my penis, and for a few moments I actually began to enjoy myself. Soon after completiing the prep, she opened the catheter. She then inserted it into something I had never seen and haven't seen since - it was shaped like a small pistol, but with two rollers top and bottom. As she put the catheter into the device, I could see that as she pulled on a lever where the trigger would be, it would advance the catheter. It also had a tube of surgilube attached, so that it would apply lubricant as the catheter advanced. She asked if I was ready, and I nodded yes. With one hand she took my now slightly hardened penis, and then rubbed the tip of the apparatus until it gently came to rest at the end of my hole. I was thinking at this point I might enjoy what was coming next, but I couldn't have been more mistaken. She pulled the trigger, and it felt like a giant rod was searing into my penis. The senior nurse held me down as four or five more squeezes moved the catheter to my bladder. I felt it pop past the valve in one final moment of agony. Thinking it was over, I began to relax, but the young nurse began to twist the unit and pull on my penis, causing even more pain. The older nurse asked what was wrong, and the student replied there was no return. The lead nurse said that she was sorry, but that they were going to have to withdraw and do it again. I knew it was in the right spot, and pushed for all I was worth. The young nurse said wait, I have some urine return, and so I was done with the first part. Shortly after, I became hazy and actually passed out, learning later it was from a vasovagal reaction.

To my surprise, in subsequent years, I have engaged in catheter play numerous times, always with good result and causing very plesant sensations.

The enema was another story in itself; One for when I have more time.

I've self-cathed recreationally for quite a while, but never had been cathed for medical reasons until earlier this year. Thanks to the morphine and dilaudid (sp?) after surgery I was unable to urinate more than just a meager trickle into the hospital urinal, and the retention was getting uncomfortable. The nurse said, "We can give you a catheter if you like." And I said, "Please."

It was probably the drugs, but the insertion was a total non-event. Not painful at all, but neither long-lasting nor intense enough to be pleasurable either. It stayed in for a couple weeks, and as I was being readied for transfer to the rehab facility they removed it. I was off the drugs by then, and expecting some discomfort from the removal. But that was also a complete non-event, and I commented that it wasn't uncomfortable like I expected. The nurse just smiled and said, "I've done this a lot. It doesn't have to hurt."

If I'm ever in the hospital again, and need to be cathed, I'm hoping it'll be a bit more intensely pleasurable.

I finally was able to today. The first time I tried with a 16 French and it hurt so bad about half way in I had to stop. I got a 12 and I lubed it up good and it went very well. Thanks all for all the info 😃

The first time I had a catheter put in, it was done by the doctor. I expected some pain, but there was only a mild feeling. It was in for a relatively short time. and the doctor removed it with no pain. The second time it was put in during surgery, and I was out cold. It was in for a week, and I was a bit worried that it would be painful to remove. When I went to the hospital, the nurse asked if I wanted the doctor to remove it, and I told her that she could remove it. She pulled it out with no pain at all. I was hoping it would take longer, as she was quite good looking.

With some recent back surgery I came out of surgery with a catheter. I had it for three days, I thought it was great! I had some very pretty nurses checking on it as well!!

2012 had to remove skin cancer from my back the first surgery took 7 hrs (thy had to take a big chunk out and look for cancer traces in my body

When I woke up 11 pm first thing I asked is to go pee nurse said no worries just let go

Then I realized that my public areas was shaved clean and I have a tube in my member LOL

Saturday morning at 630 A male nurse come in and removed the tube it was kinda painful

I was wondering why the female nurse that took care of me didn't do it

Obviously to preserve your sense of modesty.

Even back in 1981 prior to open chest surgery that didn't require any genital shaving, I got a male nurse sent to my bedside to shave off the chest chair hair I didn't have ... ha ha. And that while normally all of the other tasks so far had been done by female nurses.

I thought it kind of stupid and a bit of an insult in an abstract kind of way - not that I cared, there were other things to be worried about at the time.

Yup it felt like they were stringing football boots

Yes a couple of times in the past, very uncomfortable feeling. After a operation the next Morning I found out that I had a catheter in and wanted them to remove it, but the nurses told me not until the doctor ordered it.

Yes, many times as others here I'm catheter dependent, with urinary retention, and neurogenic bladder. In fact when I'm admitted, the Dr. will say, I think we should insert a Foley catheter, or a nurse comes in and says do you know the Dr. ordered a Foley. I know what is coming, oh yes, they bring in "paper underwear" too!

I have not been catheterized. Every time I see this thread pop up, it makes me shudder. My urethra is very narrow and I fear being catheterized would be excruciating.
