Foley Catheter?
Q. My labor is being induced tomorrow morning, but tonight I have to go into the hospital to have a Foley Catheter inserted in order to help my cervix dialate! I was wondering if any of you have experienced this? Is the catheter painful? Im nervous...and this is my first child! Anyone with similiar experience feel free to answer! Thanks!

A. the catheter is uncomfortable, and they MAY leave it in even when you start contractions..then it becomes somewhat painful, but bearable. Most are right, it does go into your urethra for you to pee instead of getting up and down to go. And no, urine won't cause an infection, its sterile, they worry more about a bowl movement during delivery than anything else, how many women do you think pee during delivery??

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.

How to flush a 2way Foley Catheter?
Q. hi there, can someone please offer some guidance..i have encountered a 2way foley catheter inserted via the suprapubic route. With the 2 way catheter, 1 limb is for the inflation of the balloon/air, and the other limb connects to the urinary bag. Question 1) With a 2 way foley urinary catheter, how do you flush the catheter to prevent clots ? What are the steps?
Asked by Asystole - Sat Oct 25 11:24:37 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It should probably only be flushed by a nurse or trained carer. They usually flush out the limb that connects to the bag with sterile water in a syringe. But I really wouldn't recommend attempting it unless you've been shown how. Or at least look it up in the manual or a reliable nursing textbook - don't trust advice from answers. I mean I realise some information here is good but still be cautious!

How long after surgery (kidney donation) must you wear a foley catheter?
Q. I will be donating a kidney in a couple of weeks, and I read that I would wake up from the surgery with a foley catheter in my bladder. I don't particularly like the sound of that. Is the catheter mandatory? what does it feel like? does it hurt? Will I be able to pee ok when it is taken out? Will I have to walk around with it, or will they take it out right away? I have never had anything put down into my peter, and I don't lie the thought of having to walk around for days with this thing stuck in it. Anybody know the answer? I know this is kind of gross, and I should be worrying about more important aspects of this.

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!

Will they let you buy a foley catheter from the hospital without prescription?
Q. In other words. Would a nurse be able to sell you one from the hospital? Maybe even for like 10 to 15 dollars. When you buy them. Do you have to be 18? Do you think you can get the kits too?
Asked by roadhog275 - Wed Dec 19 01:11:08 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. This question makes me worry about what you intend to do with your catheter once you get it. They are not advisable for, shall we say, "entertainment purposes." You are at a much higher risk of a bladder or kidney infection by using one, since bacteria can move from a dirty area (groin) into a sterile area (bladder). Please also never put anything other than sterile water or saline into the bladder. That being said, as the previous poster stated, you don't need a prescription for one, but your insurance company will pay for them if you do have a prescription. I'm not sure if there's an age limit, but you might raise some eyebrows if a young teenager walked in and asked for some.

In this case, one would be inserted into the vagina instead. The "balloon" on the tip is normally placed inside the bladder to hold it in place after it is inserted, but here the balloon would be expanded next to the cervix. The idea isn't to actually force the cervix open, but to stimulate it enough for it to soften and open on it's own. The problem with this is that it can be difficult to place properly. If the Foley tip is placed too far and ends up inside the cervix, the cervix can be damaged by the forceable attempt to open it. I do not know how a… [cont.]
