I had a catheter for 2 weeks due to an enlarged prostate caused by taking over the counter cough medicine! Well going in was kind of weird as the catheter enters the bladder but brought grateful relief as immediately urine enters the catheter bag. So that was worth the discomfort. It actually was very handy not needing to use the bathroom as you go at anytime since the bag is strapped to your leg. The bag has a valve and when the bag is full you just empty it The nurse was very quick taking it out but it is a kind of curl your toes feeling - did cause some anxiety when the procedure was being done. The nurse said many people with disabilities do this several times a day on their own - so I guess I couldn't be a wimp.
