A member asked:
Is it normal to feel i need to urine while i'm wearing a foley catheter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: The Foley catheter has a balloon that sits inside the bladder. This balloon can be irritating to the bladder, causing the sensation of needing to urinate despite your bladder being empty. It can even cause bladder spams sometimes.
