Masturbation and Indwelling cathetor

[sjaeger172004]

Hi all

On 5-7 June I went into hospital for Colonoscopy.
 

5th Prep due to Disabilities and live alone
6th Op and observation as I live alone
7th Discharge

Well on the 5th I started the prep for the colonoscopy and they found I was retaining so yay(sarcasm partially) I was recatherised with an IDC as well as I was bed bound due to fluid retention in feet as well as spinal injury(by ITSELF) I was a high falls risk. The also did a urine test.

On the 6th I had to have Fleet Enemas (which I found more effective than suppositories) 1 at 4 or 6am and not sure what time I had the other still wasn't fully cleared out. They found polyps and hemorrhoids so they were banded at the time.

I am wondering is it safe and how does a male Masturbate with an IDC as I have to have it in until at least the 31 July when I see my urologist (where they either change it or take it out).

Also the hospital found out on the 11 June when the results got back I had an UTI since at least the 5th but no one was notified until I rang my urology nurse at a different hospital who was shocked I wasn't informed.

Many thanks

I don't have any facts for you, but it sounds like a bad idea to try it.

TLDR: Don't. But if you do, use caution.

This is a good question. I've been there. And yeah, done that too. Even cleared it with my urologist beforehand. The answer is murky though, so if you can avoid mastrubating with a catheter in, then it's best if you just wait.

The size of your urethra, and size of the catheter, are what will really determine if anything bad might happen. Say that IF you could accommodate a 20FR catheter, but only have a 12FR in place, then there's room enough to take that sudden influx of ejaculation fluid. But if it's a 20FR/20FR setup then you could potentially stretch or even tear your urethra- leading to needing a catheter for even longer. Also, if someone is thinking of doing it right after any kind of urethral, sphincter or prostrate surgery, just don't.

My situation was about 3-4 weeks after a sphincterotomy, and my catheter was small enough, so I went ahead and "took care of it". First though, absolutely make sure your catheter is extremely well lubricated. Push the tip of your penis down to expose as much of the catheter as you can (but don't pull on the catheter itself). Use only water based lube, and make sure the lube gets well down and inside there. When I did ejaculate I did have a feeleling of lots of pressure, but it dissipated quickly. It was almost a complete retro ejaculation at first too. (Where it all goes in the bladder instead of coming out). That in itself isn't a problem though, just a weird sensation.

I ended up slowly leaking more fluid out and around the catheter too, so I'd recommend also wearing a pad or diaper for after mastrubating too. And this last part shouldn't have to be said, but I will anyways. If after cumming you feel ANY pain at all, or start leaking or peeing blood. Get yourself to an emergency room asap. Own up to it and be honest about it so they get you checked out properly. It may be embarrassing, but they've seen worse. And any delays can lead to even worse long term problems.
