Foley catheters are not fun.

[Blaster86]

Discuss this new found pain/annoyance I have discovered for the first time. Any tips/advice for trying to live my regular daily life with this piece of?

You're going to have to explain. I have no idea what you're talking about...

I knew what a catheter was but had to google Foley catheter.

Doesnt seem like fun regardless.

Whats your ailment?

[NuclearFart]

Lots and lots of lube. And if you can get away with it, use a condom catheter instead.

Failing all that, make sure the nurse who inserts it is hot.

You are a lucky lucky man. it's more or less a tube going in my penis, to my bladder so I can go to the bathroom.

More or less, I had to have surgery... *ahem* down there. To protect from scar tissue and infection I need to use a foley catheter for a week, but I can barely sit down with out irritating it, and it's damn hard to find a comfortable way to sleep. As my friends have proven to be useless on the subject I've turned to the internet (my doctor said things will be as normal, with minor discomfort. So I've asked him, he was just unhelpful)

Also the angle of insertion is important, and I've seen alot of nurses not take this into account. Take a look at the course of the male urethra to understand this, but basically here's what you do:

Start with your dong horizontal to the ground and stretched out, and begin inserting the foley. Just after it passes into the base of your dong, angle the catheter upwards (by pulling/angling your dong downwards) and push the catheter. Dong, Dong and Dong.

Wait, after reading your second post, I gather it's already in and you're not having to re-insert it?

Some topical xylocaine jelly might help.

I obviously can't imagine what it's like to feel your pain, but "I feel your pain." It must be awful. I'd be chugging a half bottle of Nyquil each night to zonk out.

And a warning to all- careful with the google images for this one. I looked up foley catheter on google and stumbled across the second link under the google images header. OMFG. What the hell happened to that guy. At least you're better off than him.

Sometimes, it's better to not ask questions on CP. Good luck man... I suggest ice... lots and lots of ice.

Hookers and blow? Maybe just the blow...

[HalifaxDrunk]

Although I have to agree the Foley catheter does not sound like a good time, the thread subject line opens the question are other catheters fun?

apply a sledgehammer liberally to your scalp and facial region, you'll forget all about your catheter.

Your post gets a 10 in the cringe factor.

I think I may have Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome after reading this.

I have nothing constructive to add here except:

Ouch. The very concept of this causes me pain.

[Cheese]

Heroin...use it until they remove the Catheter. Ugh

[metallicat]

I don't even want to think about it. I really don't want anything going up there...EVER. I'll be asking for a local anesthetic if it ever comes to that.

[Madman]

If this is the same type they give you in the hospital, then I feel your pain - I had one after my apendectomy.

Just wait until it comes out - you'll feel nerves you never thought existed.

LOL @ NuclearFart saying dong.

I've been told the camera going in hurts more than this coming out. And I was out cold when the catheter was put in.
