Foley Catheter. Found some relief, when I lubricated the insertion area with Vaseline. My urologist explained that the bulk of my catheter discomfort comes from the insertion tube being slightly smaller than the urinary track...so...when you walk and move around the tube moves also at the insertion point. ( Meatus). By using a tiny bit of Vaseline, you can fill in this open area and reduce the amount of movement, thus less pain. I must have some aversion to Catheters , cant sleep, some type of pain/irritation continually...quality of life is really went down. When I empty the leg bag, I've noticed that at the very end of the drain...I fell some sort of vacuum, or odd feeling especially on the penis itself....kinda like an odd sensation that makes me feel very uncomfortable. Anyone experience this feeling?
