Hello,
thanks for your query.there 2 possibility to your problem.When you first use a catheter, you will notice that you feel some spasms in your lower belly. This can be described as similar to menstrual cramps. You will feel a tight and painful feeling in your lower abdominal area that will come and go. Sometimes, you may just feel it for a few minutes and then it will go away. If you have experienced this, you don’t need to panic. This is perfectly normal. The other possibility for catheter pain is trauma from the catheter itself. Sometimes, the catheter may have been too wide for the urinary canal. Or perhaps there was not sufficient lubricant on the catheter when it was being inserted. In either case, the catheter will cause a great amount of discomfort as it is being inserted into the body. You may see some blood in the urine because of this. In these cases, you should also contact your physician to have the catheter removed and a more fitting one placed in.
Thank you
Dr.Rahul Banerjee
