askinnierme 11 Posted April 2, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roriep 23 Posted April 21, 2013 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.

natedinsmoor2 48 Posted April 21, 2013 I just found out that they put one in BEFORE surgery and take it out one - two days later .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James78 3 Posted April 21, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShrinkyDinkMe22 376 Posted April 22, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aquitenonnymouse 206 Posted April 22, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinkdiamondprincess36 20 Posted April 22, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristineR 128 Posted April 22, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whitneymalae 69 Posted April 22, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
