Catheter

Anyone have a catheter for whatever reason? I had one for epidural/c section then was taken out and put back in as I didn't produce enough urine. I'm home now and I am going for a wee. Just more often but its like its irritated and seems like it stings. Anyone else have same? UK x

I had one bc I had an epidural and it did sting a little for me going pee for abt a week after

Ah okay, I'm feeling like I'm going wee alot even tho not drinking loads. It's prob irritated as I had to have another one but worried if it's uti etc x

You’ll need to call your GP or health visitor if it’s causing you pain

Catheters are notorious for causing infections/infection like symptoms unfortunately. I'd mention it to your GP/midwife and they can test your urine

Think its the pain obvs there too from the wound etc

I have just had the same thing 3 days post section and been diagnosed with a UTI. Get it checked! X

Yeah, definitely had stinging and pain after I had them. But as others have said do get it checked.
