Can you teach that to my wife? (LOL)

That's fantastic.

The catheter wasn't a big deal for me and came out minutes after I woke up... To be honest I'd had a very bad experience with a vasectomy a year earlier that was infinitely worse than any catheter (the urologist failed to get me numb, not pleasant at all).

Oh my Lord my ovaries shuddered at the thought of that. You poor man!!

Sweet lord. The entire Man Room just shuddered.

In my vasectomy, the doctor and I discovered a common interest in fighter planes, and I was treated to a show with his hands demonstrating an airshow routine he saw recently. He was holding sharp objects at the time.

Guys,

I work for a medical device manufacturing company and we make a male external catheter. I'm going to ask my surgeon if they can use that one for me. It's worth asking!! Male external catheter goes on like a condom.(much better than the alternative)

I was thinking about about this issue once I got word I was approved for my surgery. After reading all of your comments I feel much better about the situation.

I just had my catheter pulled out. Believe me, it's not a big deal, and so nice to not have to move to pee.

[Dmclark77 21]

Had my surgery last week. Didn't even know I had the catheter until I woke up in my room and had to pee. The nurse said go ahead you catheter's in. After it was removed, I sort of missed it. It was cool not having to get up to use it! LOL!

[DivaNurse 171]

Oh well just frigging great!!! So some nurse is going to play Zigfred and Roy with Mr Happy then make balloon animals in my bladder. Surgery is now five six days away...!!!!

Tap I'm a nurse and have put in and took out a few caths in my time and let me tell you it wasn't painful at all for me......lol

Oh crap, I didn't even think about getting one put in, but hopefully I won't have to endure it. I saw my Dad put them in and take them out during his last few weeks due to cancer, but never thought about me having to use one, ha.

[JeffA70 200]

I was seriously worried about it, but truly, it was no big deal. They put it in when you're under, and as someone mentioned, once you're awake, it's actually a bit of a relief not to have to get up and pee the first day. I had zero problems with pain or discomfort from it.

Why do men have to have a catheter? Can't you guys just get up and pee in the toilet like we women have to?

I think it's the surgeons preference. Even the woman got catheters after surgery in my hospital. Something about the anaesthesia

No, actually. I could not "go" normally until day 3 after surgery. All that anesthesia and pain med put my ability to just stand over the toilet to sleep. The nurse had no choice to put on in me by day 2 after all that IV Fluid. I gained about 20 lb in the hospital from the liquids after 5 days being there.

Wont lie.. stings like a B.. coming out.
