So the story really begins since I came home.
Well, let me explain. Although first of all, I would like to let you know that I want this article to be positively working towards reducing the stigma that is focused around young people, young women, and the unexpected results of using a catheter. Now. Storytime.
Back up a few years and I had moved away from home. I never really had any bad health problems until I left home, unfortunately, it all went downhill from there.
I started to come down with a bladder infection and saw a GP, which resulted in me being given antibiotics for a UTI.
The pills, unfortunately, and quite obviously being that I have called them pills, were in a pill form.
Now at that point, I couldn’t swallow pills without choking. So planning on reordering the liquid antibiotics I carried on with life.
Until my fever kicked in later that night. My temperature spiked and I called the hospital because I knew deep down, my gut feeling was right. There was something wrong with me.
They sent a taxi out to me because of the lack of ambulances and after a semi-lengthy wait in A&E from what I remember, being that all I really remember was peeing on the chairs of the waiting room in the hospital because my (now EX) partner loved to take the mickey out of me for that.
Then everything goes fuzzy and dark.
I remember walking in the majors A&E ward finally, stumbling and missing all pointer cues of where I was meant to go as if I was a zombie. I knew where I was but nothing made sense.
I remember my partner at the time prompting me to reply as the nurse chatted to me, determining my name and age and what was wrong with me as we strolled through the corridor into the bedded area of the A&E ward.
I was already wondering off. Out of it. I hadn’t even noticed she was talking to me.
I ended up spending one whole night in the majors’ ward next to resuss. It was horrible. I had a drip in and I don’t remember much apart from one scene that plays in my head.
It was dark but a few lights were on at the nurse’s station I think. A nice but seemingly emotionally distant nurse came round to do my ECG.
And then …. all I remember is convulsing. The shivers from my fever making me believe I was so freezing cold I thought I would surely die. A vague memory of my heart rate and temp being deemed too dangerous to send me home as I listened to two nurses chat outside my cubicle curtain.
Now you may not think that had anything to do with this article. But believe me, it does.
Because with even as much encouragement as we can get, that doesn’t change the fact that whether you have an indwelling or intermittent catheter, suprapubic or Foley, you HAVE a catheter.
And that’s not the end of the world.
I am in NO way WHATSOEVER implying it is.
In fact, I find it quite freeing to have a catheter and have gotten used to being the girl with the catheter.
Even though I am the only one who thinks of me like that any more.
I think everyone else sees me as Gemma.
It is only ourselves and our reflections who judge us so deeply as we feel they do; please do remember that possibly semi-important info.
But the point here is, and sorry for rambling. You have ONE body, and although we have treatments, we have new organs being developed and Kidney transplants, they all have ONE thing in common.
If you think you are getting constant recurring UTI’s without any relief from antibiotics. Call a Doctor.
If you think your pee habits have changed, maybe your passing urine more than you were, or less than you were.
Things you might think are embarrassing to mention. Things you can’t find the courage to talk about.
I ask of you, please, talk about it.
Are you finding you have trouble peeing? Having to strain to pee, not peeing more than a few times over the course of the day when you were peeing more than that before? A bladder full of urine can cause a backlog of pressure and urine on the kidneys if it is held for a long time, so see a Doctor. And I’m talking a semi if not full bladder for days.
Chances are you will always be alright, you will always be okay. Treatment is hard and fast for bladders. A catheter in the bladder. Done.
Now that varies from time to time and patient to patient of course. But what I am saying is that we have heard it all before. Us, the community of catheter users, the incontinence of the bladder.
If I had been believed that I had a kidney infection that night if I hadn’t been blocked from appropriate medical care by my then partner, maybe things would have been different.
Maybe I wouldn’t be a 21-year-old, young woman who has essentially no bladder control.
Catheters, however, as the article was actually originally intended to be about, are NOT bad!
There is a wide range of catheters out for you to choose from and healthcare professionals with bladder and bowel service in mind, in my experience and opinion, seem dedicated to finding the RIGHT catheters for YOU.
Women’s catheters will obviously be shorter due to the shorter urethra than men, however, men can sometimes have a penile sheath if that is appropriate.
There are so many discrete female catheters I was amazed, from different length catheters to different circumference catheters, easy hold and hygienic catheters, speedicaths with built-in pee bags, easy attachable one time bags with a one-time use valve for disposing of the urine.
Pink and purple packets, blue lipstick shaped tubes with catheters in, discreet delivery.
There really is NO need to be afraid.
Now when I had my first urinary catheter fitted, I was taught to do the intermittent self-catheterisation myself, and although I found the idea of a woman looking at me incredibly shaming and embarrassing and dreaded the thought of the day I was taught to perform ISC on myself, it was fine.
Clinical and not intimate at all which is how it should be.
After suffering a couple of non-serious forms of sexual assault at a younger age I.E in my teens I have found it hard to accept being what I consider ‘intimate’ with someone. Anyone. And although a nurse sticking a tube up your ‘pee hole’, isn’t intimate. It was further towards the path of intimacy than I wanted to stray/go.
So I understand that things like self-confidence issues and previous sexual traumas etc. can make a person hesitant to allow someone to come near their bodies in such an intimate manner, however for me, I found that the initial having her prod around at me down there and inserting the catheter and then me learning to insert my own urethral catheters has opened me up as a person emotionally and helped me to understand that there is no shame in our bodies.
This may not be the case for everyone, however, rest assured that there ARE caring nurses and specialists out there and it’s all about YOU. And the pace in which YOU want to take things. Whether it takes 1 visit or 2 before you are comfortable in inserting the catheter, or whether you ask them to pull it out halfway through the catheterisation, it seems to be okay.
This is an intimate procedure and needs sensitivity and caring natures in abundance, well that’s what I think personally.
I have found myself being a lot more able to express to even my family and mainly my parents about the nature of the catheter and learning the names such as Urethral and Stricture have seemed to loosen my own stigma to myself and allowed me to open up my vocabulary to discuss the private matters of my urethra!
Catheters, when I looked them up, I was told via a certain “Dr. Google” that it could be agonising, and other sites from Google said only a slight discomfort. I shouldn’t have looked that up because it just worried me more.
When I had the first intermittent self-catheterisation performed the nurse had to remove the catheter promptly as I was in agony, like a pain I had never felt before, like someone burning a drill through my bladder and pubis and then pouring acid and cutting it into my urethra as the catheters left my bladder.
The woman said she has NEVER seen someone be in as much pain as I was in. EVER. See. Pain isn’t entirely normal. Chances are it won’t hurt. According to her if I remember rightly, there can be a tad bit of pain or discomfort when pulling the catheter out of the urethra, but generally, it doesn’t hurt.
And I persevered with crying in a ball on the toilet floor after removing the catheter and feeling my urethra burn in a way it never had before. It honestly was worse than cystitis, it was like the eyes of the catheter had sucked the walls of my bladder and urethra to them and twisted them skin first and flesh first into the eyes of the catheter as I removed the catheter out.
However, I persevered and after less than a few days of using the catheters, I was rarely feeling ANY pain at all. And when I thought I would never be able to do it without a mirror and that she was crazy by saying she wanted people to do it by touch, I WAS WRONG.
I don’t even need a mirror now and can most often just insert the catheter with one leg propped up on a chair. I normally use my bedroom as my bladder voiding grounds as I use speedicaths with the pre-attached urine bag and I feel more comfortable doing my ISC there, and you know what? That’s fine.
You can leave the bag down for a minute, screw the lid back on to a speedicath or remove the catheter from a Foley style catheter and night bag contraption if you need to and that’s how your bags work.
Please note, this varies for everyone and all bags and medical equipment used for catheters and the general differences in age and weight and what medical condition means there is a need for ISC in the first place so please don’t take my words as gospel and quote me on them!
I just would like to note that the reason my ISC caused such pain, was determined by the lady and the Doctor who helped me with the catheterisation and the decision to catheterise, that because I had/ have a urethral stricture and cysts in my bladder and possibly on my kidneys, the catheter was essentially working as self-dilatation which apparently some people have to use catheters for any way to remove or cure strictures in the urethra!
Also, the places my cysts are located if there ARE cysts in my bladder, could have just been in the unfortunate spot of by the bladder neck and causing me pain.
My bladder was a special case and even then the ease and the relatively pain-free way I can now carry on life with ISC is extraordinary.
I feared so much for catheterisation, worried I would be seen as a freak. A 21-year-old girl with a catheter.
But you know what, as I worried my life would change with a catheter.
What’s worse, a sopping wet pair of incontinence pants leaking through your clothes, spending all your money on said pants and replacing things that stink of urine, or being in control and going to the bathroom to void and remove all urine from your bladder through ISC as you would when peeing if you had a normal functioning bladder or what not?
Now not everyone might be using them for incontinence but if you are, think of it. It might be worth it.
The medical supplies of catheters and urine bags are often hidden in nice handy nifty little boxes and in aesthetically pleasing packets anyway.
It could be nothing but better to be safe than sorry. And I don’t wanna be sued!
Thank you ISC. For giving me my life back.

Hello ladies and gentlemen, this will be my first post on Allnurses. I Figured I would share my experience on a situation I had today during a clinical rotation. I am a student about to graduate in December from the LPN program, and we are doing our hospital/specialties clinical at the moment.
So a little background I have done female Catheters (oddly enough before I did any males.) But today I had my first male and here is the situation I ran in to on my shift. My nurse and myself went to the pt. room, introduced ourselves and stated the procedure to the patient and how it was going to work etc.
(PT information: The pt. is paralyzed neck down for the last 6 years and has required a IN/OUT catheter every four hours. Pt. is in today for pneumonia. The DR orders a 16 Foley to be inserted while he is on the floor. 30-45 min prior the wife of the pt. performed the in/out catheter on the pt. as she normally would). Now lets get onto the situation…
I get everything setup, keeping sterile field the entire procedure. Everything is textbook perfect, insertion is great no resistance is met everything looks and feels great. I inflate the bubble still perfect give it a tug and its nice and snug no retraction. This is where things get hairy as I am cleaning the area and disposing of every thing I notice a drop of blood come from the meatus I stop clearing away and call the nurses attention to the blood.
She states it happens sometimes and don't remove the cath. Not 3 seconds after she has said this, I have blood rush into the tubing. This is not normal I remove the catheter after she states to go ahead and remove. Once removed the meatus spurts blood about 3-4 ft. into the air.
This is the point where it becomes abnormal to the extreme he leaks blood pretty seriously. I grab the penis and apply pressure. Yet, the penis continues to leak blood heavily. I grab some towels and use it to contain the blood while holding pressure. Pt. is still bleeding 2-3 min later at the same rate.
Dr. is alerted and says to continue pressure. So my instructor comes into the room and we continue pressure for the next 30-45 minutes and soak thru at least 2 ½ towels. Eventually, the bleeding stops I say all this because no one I have discussed this situation has seen that amount of blood come out of even a botched cath. So if this has happened to you I would love to hear about it.
Needless to say the cause of the bleeding was pretty evident, the pt. was on Elaquil and the urethra was irritated and once he started bleeding there was no antidote for that medicine to stop it like warfarin. So, in closing this was a pretty unique first male catheter and thought id share and see what you all thought.
P.S. forgive my grammar hard to set up perfect sentences and structure on a phone
Well at least you got that out of the way the first time. I've never seen that either, but all your future catheterizations have to go better right?

Wow, I am freaking out and I was not even there
Yea I doubt it will get much worse than that with a catheter. I saw way worse with a pt who had a stage 4 pressure ulcer on both buttocks. There's was basically just muscle and tendon and a bit of skin left.. It was horrible and then turned him over and notice the head of his penis is flopping over and is held on by a 1/4 inch of skin.... He'd had a cath for a very long time and that's the cause of it. I doubt a male could see worse than that ha. But as for being freaked out about the cath, I really wasn't but my nurse almost passed out apparently being pregnant all her hormones kicked in and she had to leave the room

Even urethral irritation would not cause that much blood. Unless it was urine mixed with blood and appeared like there was more. Depending on how big his prostate was, that could cause irritation. You would have had to inflate the balloon while still in the urethra to cause something like that. Or he had a bladder issue.
Was an irritated urethra what the doctor told you it was, or are you assuming?
Also, if there was that much b
