Urinary Catheter: The catheter will be inserted into the urethra which is the small opening at the head of the penis and will be threaded into the bladder through the urethra. A small balloon at the tip is inflated, so the catheter tube does not fall out. Doctor who places the catheter and the nurse who will monitor the region. I wish that i could tell you that you will not feel pain, but you'll have some pain.
