Catheterized; NOT FUN

Anybody here had to get a catheter put in? I've had one when I was a kid, and I didn't remember it being so bad. But yesterday I had to have by bladder scoped due to a painful problem, which turns out to be a small kidney stone that's trapped in the bladder neck. He said it's going to pass, but in order not to rip up my urethra, he put a huge catheter about 7/16th thick up my pee hole, and that was an EXPERIENCE! :lightning
It's called size 30 fr, and the part that was so bad was that he had just stuck a metal pipe (cystoscope) up my pee hole, and that caused a lot of pain and scraping, although it was much thinner; maybe 1/4" wide. This huge thing that feels like a fire hose took about 15 minutes to shove up there, and it felt like 1000 times worse than having to pee so bad in the morning and not being able to let go. It felt like an electric shock when it finally stabbed through the prostate and on into my bladder. I can't even describe the feeling other than it's horrible. And even more embarrassing, it causes semen to get pushed out because forcing it past the prostate. He told me that ahead of time, and said it happens on young men when the catheter is that big. They had to put my legs in restraints because I couldn't help jerking around in from the pressure and pain. All new to me, and all that I never wanted to know. The doctor told me I have to be catheterized for 24 hours with a bag, to see if it passes, and to catch it to send to the lab if it does. He says this catheter is unusually large due to the size & shape of the stone he saw in there. Now I feel the same pain as if I had blue ballz for a month, had to go pee since about November, and the pressure is intense. 240 minutes til this thing comes out!!!!!! But the scary thing is that if the stone isn't in the bottle that I'm filling up every time the leg bag is full, they'll either have to put a bigger one through my groin called a Suprapubic catheter, or they'll operate. Or I can just let the stone sit there until it rips and slices it's way out. The nurse told me it's the largest size catheter they can put in an adult male except for the one that goes through an incision in the belly.

THREE TIPS, bros: 1) DONT get older than 30, 2) DONT drink too much milk, 3) Pray for an alternate cure for a bladder stone!!!!!

I just want to qualify this by saying I'm no wimp with pain... I've had surgery with no anesthetic, and had a broken bone with the air blowing on it, and I could stand that, and both my nipples are pierced, and I don't need to tell anyone who has pierced nipples how that feels, and I was fine with that. This sh*t HURT, bros!!!!!!

Been there,I screamed at the nurse doing it Shouting ("G-DAMMIT,,,,You're destorying my virginity" i almost felt like passing out)

Oh yes, it's out now, and F**K that hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was 100 times worse than shoving the catheter up there. Turns out that the balloon hadn't deflated just right, and it left a flap of rubber, which felt like a fishing hook being ripped through. Then I had to go to the bathroom about 10 mins later... Felt like was peeing out a roll of barb wire. I guess you have to go through stuff sometimes. I'm now going to go and rub Tabasco sauce in my eyes to distract my attention from my badly mistreated junk, and explain to my wife that it's going to be off limits until the fall of 2038. :eek2:

I had one after an appendectomy.

When they yanked it out they nailed me up with Demerol and it still hurt like a MoFo.
 
I would have insisted on being hit with morphine upon insertion and removal, and being sent home with a script for demerol to last me a few days to blunt the sting of pissing. If they refused, I would have scored some 10mg oxys on the street; NO WAY I'd go through that shit without being good and numb!!!

It's my fault I didn't ask. I have to admit, I'm terrified of any kind of general anesthetic. Too many stories of healthy people dying of it on the operating table. I know how severely I react to even common pain pills, so I can't take those at all. I was given pills after a root canal went bad and gave me a huge abscess on my jaw, and those pills did nothing for the pain, but upset my sleep and my stomach for 2 weeks, gave me a case of temporary clinical depression, and killed my libido for a month. Not worth it. I'll take some pain before any pain pills, but this thing Friday and yesterday was a tough to endure. I wonder if they can use Novocaine on the Johnson???

I guess the catheter I had when I was a kid was a lot smaller, and it was because I had to have a minor operation that required having it. But this time, it was so fat to make way for a stone (or maybe a piece of a stone) to come out without slicing up my urethra, and because there can be blood clots in the bladder after a kidney stone passes from the kidneys to the bladder. I think it worked, as I saw some fine gravel shards or fibers in the bottle I turned in. If so, I'm good to go.

So far today, no evidence of stones in there, and only a little sore from the catheter. I'm going to work out in a few minutes, which was out of the question yesterday or Friday.
:beer:.

Must be hugely worse for guys than girls. I had to have one put in when I had a reaction to a cream I was prescribed for a UTI that swelled my urethra shut (taken me years to figure out I can't tolerate propylene glycol) I literally was incapable of even peeing a drop. When it got inserted I all could think was "blessed relief," barely noticed when I had it removed. Oddest thing was I could feel the catheter jabbing the back of my bladder after the swelling went down. The nurse wondered if they put in a guy version :whatever:

I would have thought women had smaller urethras than men ...
 
i had one when i had a brain tumour, but it was just because i couldnt leave the bed or even more afterwards, the thing felt so wierd i couldnt piss at all so they had to take it out and give me like these cardboard bottle things for me to piss in. damn that thing hurt taking it out, im glad i was unconcious when they put it in!

what caused that kidney/bladder stone thing? i dont wanna ever have to go through that whole dick pipe thing...
 
Shit, that pipe'd be like tossing a hotdog down a hallway for me.

I had one put in when I was in the ICU in high school. Like you, it wasn't all that unpleasant. A hair uncomfortable going in but not all that noticeable afterwards. I've heard before how terrible it is for guys though.

It's a night and day difference...look at all the bends that have to be negotiated in the male urethra:

Now look at the simple straigth shot it is from the female urethra to the bladder:

about the same caliber, but our urethra is prolly 4-5x as long, we have two sphincters as opposed to one, and a prostate which can be tricky to navigate. But probably most importantly, chicks tend to tolerate discomfort better than we do. Guys are especially whiney about their junk. No offense to any good bro's, its just how we are.

OMG, if I wasn't going with a whole spiritual theme siggy wise I'd siggy that, can't believe I actually saw a guy, especially a doctor, put it in print!

However, that being said, I personally know some gay guys who must have dicks made of gristle because they do some positively vicious things to their junk.

And frankly, the idea of anything sharp in the vicinity of MY junk, uh uh, hell no. Gives me wiggly legs.

Goddamn.

Never been so happy to have a vag in my life.

Brain tumor; SCARY...! I hope you're OK now!

We won't know the cause of the stone until the lab figures out what it's made of. It's most likely calcium, but could also be uric acid and other things. The doctor says most likely calcium, which means I will have to stay away from any dairy products and multivitamins with Vitamin C or calcium. If it's uric acid, I'll have to stay away from certain green leafy veggies, if I understood.

I really lucked out because the stone was able to get down the ureter from my kidney, and it got stuck in the bladder neck (right ontop of the prostate). If it had gotten stuck in my ureter, I'd have had intense back pain, and been in the hospital with an infected kidney. My ex-GF had a 10mm stone in her left kidney at age 29, and was in intensive care for 10 days with blood poisoning.

When somebody says you have calcium stones, it is sometimes misleading because the stone is not just made of Calcium. ~70% of stones are Calcium oxalate and when somebody has these stones we dont typically recommend limiting calcium too drastically, rather limiting the part of the stone that allows for the calcium to precipitate out (the oxalate).

You could cut back on calcium if you were taking in tremendous amounts, but most physicians would rather you cut the precipitating factor (oxalate) rather than calcium to prevent more complications from low levels of calcium in your blood (tends to piss off our heart among other things).
