A member asked:
Is urinary catheterization a painful procedure for male? is it done under sedation or while you are in your senses.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uncomfortable: A simple urinary catheterization is done without anesthesia, so "in your senses" as you said. I can tell that it is an uncomfortable procedure, classifying it as painful or not, probably depends of each person but it is definitely bothersome. I am sorry. Dr. C
