Did you have a catheter ?

[askinnierme 11]

I had one inserted after I was asleep and came out the next day. The feeling was almost a tickle sensation. No need to worry at all.

I had one once and it hurt coming out, sorry. Every since, I have dreaded the possibility of having one. Mind you I had a UTI, but that is a complication of inserting a foreign object up there. I'm not trying to scare anyone. I am just sharing my experience.

I just found out that they put one in BEFORE surgery and take it out one - two days later ..

Okay thanks well I'm only 15 so that's another reason I wondered

Youre 15 years old? When are you planing surgery?

I was so juiced up on morphine I didn't care what they put in me. Plus getting up to pee is way more painful the first day or two. I was glad to have it.

I did not have one either. I did have one for my c-section 3 years ago. It didn't hurt even when they took it out. It was uncomfortable but was not painful. Not sure what the big deal is with the catheters.

I never would have known it was there. It was put in and taken out while I was under- no residual discomfort at all. I know it was there because they told me it would be.

My surgery is coming up and I'm just wondering ..

Natedinsmoor2, I had a catherer but they inserted it while I was in surgery so I didn't feel it. Don't worry it wasn't bad at all. I got it removed when I was being discharged and it didn't hurt.

They prepped my catheter when I was already under so didn't feel a thing. It's a little awkward afterwards when it comes out but it's painless.

Thank you everyone

I had one and thank god i did bc i could jot imagine getting up to pee in while recovering. It allowed me to rest and it didnt hurt at all!! Don't stress.

I did! Woke up with it and thought "ahh crap!" But honestly it was nice not having to get up and go to the bathroom all the time those first 2 days, with all the Fluid they pumped in me if be getting up every 5 minutes! It wasn't at all uncomfortable, even when the nurse took it out, I didn't feel anything!

No catheter and no drain. My doctor wanted us up and moving right away
