Your question: They usually use local anesthetics on the catheters and the whole thing may be uncomfortable but not painful

Here's...: Any medical care always comes with its inherent, pertinent discomfort mentally and physically; so is catheter insertion for urodynamic studies. Luckily, most patients tolerate procedures very well with bearable discomfort. Rest assured, urologist will take care of you well. Still, remember: expecting some discomfort is normal in every aspect of life. Best wishes...
