To answer your question about having any severe pain following the procedure…..I did not have any severe pain. I did have the Foley in place when I woke up. That was the worst of it for me. I was very sensitive and I was uncomfortable with that Foley…..but….it was removed the following morning! As for bleeding…..there will be some blood in your urine for 1-2 weeks….and I would pass bloody scale when urinating as well. All of this is completely normal. It went away in about 8-10 days for me. I was able to urinate a few hours after the Foley was removed! Because I live 160 miles from the Mayo, both the Doctor and me wanted to insure things were good before I went home….so I stayed at the Hotel for another night. I will tell you that for me, I couldn’t believe how well I could urinate on the very first day. I’m not kidding….it made me smile!
