I've been catheterized before not as a child but as young adult and I can tell you I don't care how old are tough you think you are it's traumatizing.. I hope they can figure out a way in the future to not have to use catheters or at least make them painless and less irritating.

I have had catheters many times and I am terrified and the lidocaine and distraction like a 3DS it would amaze you. They numbed my urethra for the last VCUG and I said did you even do anything? I couldn't feel that the catheter was there

I have to catherization everyday because I can't feel that my bladder is full and nobody is even trying to do any test and i have to stay in hospital until I can feel my bladder is full. As a 16 years old, catherization is so embarrassing no matter who's doing it. It's painful and they don't put numbing cream. I hope I can fix this problem one day

Wow how things have changed. When I was 7-8 I was drugged and held down by four adults and just had the catheter shoved up there. My mom could hear me screaming down the hall. It felt like a knife going in. Traumatizing as heck.

Elisabeth Andersen THE SAME DAMN THING HAPPENED TO ME! Except I was 3 YEARS OLD! Aaaaaand, to this day, I have PTSD, Medical Anxiety, etc etc. No lidocaine, no drugs, nothing. Held me down, shove, and I was traumatized the rest of my life. I also had to go through 2 years of PTSD therapy. The procedure that happened before this was a dye blood draw thing. And that gave me a IRREVERSIBLE PHOBIA of needles. THANKS TRAUMATIC MEDICAL HISTORY, IM SCARRED FOR LIFE!

Yep, same here. I was 4 years old and they said, "We're going to stick something up your pee pee". I said is it pinchy stuff? ( No clue why I said that) They laughed and said , no not pinchy. Well, I was screaming and crying from the excruciating pain. There were 5 people in the room and I too was held down. Petrified of catheters til this day.

I have had 3 urethra catheters and for this type of catheter you need to stay awake they never put you to sleep and I just got a new one put in my stumach but for that type I had to go to sleep because they need to open the tummy and bladder

When I had a catheter in, she opened my vagina up, and just dumped a bottle of numbing gel on it. My dad had to do it and it was SO uncomfortable
