Yes: Especially if the balloon was still inflated!

???: Not sure what you mean by improper. If the ballon was deflated the catheter should come out easily. If the ballon was inflated it could certainly be a bumpy exit and probably quite difficult to pull. In either case the urethra can be sore for a few days afterwards. This generally resolves.
