[QUOTE 5211482, member: 9609"]I never knew any thing like this happened - jeez.

they actually do this when you are awake ? with or without anaesthetic ?

may be mines very different to others but this procedure has to be impossible.[/QUOTE]
As @numbnuts says. I dont watch so cant say how big the camera thingy is but TBH is doesnt really hurt... as I said its just very uncomfortable.
Now, after my op they put a "3 way cathater" up there.......that is three tubes going into one BIG one. Fortunately that was while I was still knocked out as it was genuinely the thickness of my little finger.....god knows how they got that in but, after 5 days it took 2 nurses to get it back out (seriously). I still remember the expression on my mates face when he visited......he saw the tube disappearing and said "please tell me thats not going where it seems to be going".

After I damaged my spine I had a indwelling catheter for some time, later my nurse showed me how to change it myself, it is no big deal and with the jell it goes in really easy.
The 3 way catheter is one to drain, one to fill the small balloon that stops it from coming out and the last one is for a flush I kidd you not.

Some eye watering insights on this thread. Ouch!

Yikes - I was threatened with a catheter when my spine was broken as due to the 'shock' my body wasn't allowing me to wee, never mind poop. I 'really' tried to go to the loo, and managed some very brown liquid after a couple of days (thankfully).

I was ill in 2012 with Low-flow priapism and had a catheter inserted during the operation I had, this was OK and came out easily when time came to remove it, unfortunately I had a second episode about a week after I was discharged and was readmitted for a second operation and had another catheter inserted, this one went in a bit deeper than it should and I felt it when time came to remove it, made me yell a bit.

Everyone knows that Betamax was the better quality.

And I guess top-loading is better than front-loading or bottom-loading?

I have an image of a nurse, left elbow wedged into the patient's stomach, left hand gripped around the old chap, while the right hand is trying to push down the camera like a length of curtain wire round an S-bend.

I had my first one when I was 40 due to the symptoms of Kidney Stones and I've had a few since but nice to know that area is well checked. It's when they say if you look at the monitor, I can't my eyes are watering

I thought this was about the tower on Bradgate Park called Old John Leicestershire.
Got it wrong again,must read the threa titles more carefully.

I had a catheter inserted into my bladder in the operating theatre when I was under a general. It stayed there for a day or two before being removed by a large, friendly male nurse who just grabbed it and pulled. It didn't hurt at all. It was nowhere near the diameter of a cystoscope though.

There were three nurses holding mine while a fourth shoved the camera down.
