Most people feel mild discomfort when thin catheters are placed, but it isn't usually painful.
The short answer
Most people feel mild discomfort when thin catheters are placed, but it isn't usually painful.
A closer look
One small catheter goes into the bladder and another measures belly pressure. Mild burning when you urinate for a day afterward is common.
What you can do next
Get checked if you notice leaks, urgency, or trouble emptying your bladder.
