Can the process of inserting of a Foley Catheter cause an erection ?
Q. I'm going to be having surgery soon, and I'm paranoid of all the things that go with that, including going under, cutting me open, colostomy bag, and certainly not least: the nurse inserting the Foley catheter. I'm not sure I can handle the humiliation.

Where can someone buy a foley catheter?
Q. I'm just wanting to know a place that I can buy a foley catheter kit at that don't require prescription. For one I lost my insurance awhile back and can't afford to go to the hospital to have one put in. I can't even go to the dr to get a prescription for one if you have to have a prescription. I don't know why but I just have a little urine trouble from time to time.

A. Not usually, they may only if your surgery is scheduled to take longer than 2-3 hours or if a large amount of fluid is going to be used or if prolonged immobilization is required after the surgery. This decision will be at the discretion of the surgical staff and doctor doing the procedure.

Have you had a Foley Catheter for induction?
Q. I had to have a foley Catheter to be induced i was wondering has anybody else ever had this done, and did you think it was painful? This is the one where they tie it to the I V bag at the end of the bed so the weight makes you dilate. And I didn't get the epidurel till after the catheter fell out.
Asked by ??tah?? - Thu Jul 3 18:02:59 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The foley inductions can be uncomfortable. They will inflate the inner balloon until there is substantial pressure against the cervix, and then hang tension on the line outside to keep that pressure applied. You will feel that pressure and cramping and it may stimulate contractions. Just ask your doctor to fill the balloons slowly and if it hurts too much tell them. You always have the right to refuse anything they want to do to you, so if you want them to try another method of ripening / induction request them to discuss the options with you. Good luck! ETA: judging by the other responses I don't think too many people know what a "foley induction" is. We aren't talking about having a catheter in your bladder during labor. We're talking… [cont.]

A. You will be numbed and feel nothing when it gets inserted. They do that after you are asleep already. It does not matter having an erection with one in your penis. I don't think it to be wise to masturbate with one in your urinary tract:there won't be room enough to ejaculate. It tickles a bit:no more:had plenty in me during and after surgery, You will feel relieved once it is out:word of advise:exhale hard when they take it out:then you are most relaxed and do not feel it Colors

What's the difference between a nelaton and a foley catheter?
Q. I'm completely stumped. I thought it was the balloon until I found nelatons with balloons, I thought it was usage time, but they can both be long and short term...any ideas? No a sphygmomanometer measures BP. A catheter is a tube inserted into the body, in this case to precipitate the drainage of fluids.

Asked by AJ - Thu Mar 4 15:02:37 2010 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The catheter and your urethra are lubricated with a water soluble gel (similar to KY jelly) which contains a numbing agent. The doctor holds your flaccid penis straight out from your body (you will be lying on your back) and uses the other hand to insert the tip of the catheter into the tip of your penis. He then pushes it into place. When the tip reaches the end of your penis shaft, your penis is moved around as the catheter passes upwards and through your prostate, then into your bladder. Once the catheter is in place, sterile water is forced through it to inflate a small balloon at the end, which expands inside the bladder to hold the catheter in place. The procedure is not particularly painful, but I did find it somewhat uncomfortable,… [cont.]

A. A foley catheter is not used, it looks just like one but it is used to help induce for labor. It is placed in the cervix and it falls out when you are about 3 cm dilated, they usually use it to help prepare the cervix `before you are induced with pitocin. It can be uncomfortable when they first put it in but then after an hour the most you should feel fine.

This occurs because bacteria can travel up the catheters to the bladder where the urine can become infected. To combat this, the industry is moving to antibiotic coated catheters. This has been helpful, but it has not completely solved this major problem. An additional problem is that Foley catheters tend to become coated in time with a biofilm that can keep them from properly draining the bladder.
