Let me expand upon my previous entry. I remember they had it in me overnight after an operation. My memory is still not that good on that day, but I do remember that I kept begging them to take it out and let me go the normal way, but they kept saying to just relax and "go" to the bathroom with the catheter in me. I tried, but no matter how much I tried it seemed like I had to go to the bathroom the entire night. Finally the nurse pulled it out the next morning, and they let me use the bathroom then. I felt so much better after I was able to go in the normal fashion.

Overnight? Dude, I had one in me for two whole days after a surgery down below about four years ago. It felt like a fishhook barb was stuck up in there. MessengerAtLWU (talk | contribs) 04:19, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
my bf had catheter after a kidney op but has seemed to become less sensitive down there. he went to the doc who said it could be a side effect to the catheter. is this true and is it a perminant thing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by User:84.64.47.244 (talk • contribs)
- Wikipedia shouldn't be relied upon for medical advice. That being said, your question is probably better suited for Wikipedia:Reference desk/Science. You'll probably be told the same thing about not seeking medical advice from Wikipedia, but someone might also be nice enough to say if that is a potential side effect. --Kyoko 12:15, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
"After many years of catheter use, bladder cancer may also develop" Please can someone provide a reference? IMHO it would be better worded "After many years of catheter use the rik of bladder cancer is increased". 86.155.98.194 (talk) 14:19, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
