What is the difference between an intermittent catheter and indwelling catheter?
They are usually the same catheter. Intermittent catheterization of the bladder means that a catheter is manually inserted, urine drained and then removed in a short time span usually lasting a few minutes.

Should a catheter ever be forced through obstruction?
From the SpeediCath "Man's guide to intermittent self-dilation": "There may be some resistance when the catheter reaches your stricture. If this happens apply gentle pressure and the catheter will slide through" So from this I would say, give it a little pressure, if you feel any pain or discomfort STOP! You could try gently turning the catheter to see if this helps, if not, try again the next day. If the stricture or "obstruction" still stops you from inserting the catheter after a couple of days call your gp or specialist.

Does inserting a male urinary catheter hurt?
Absolutely! Uncomfortable is just a lie. Insertion of a catheter is likely one of the most feared experiences as a young male, right up there with having a prostate exam. As previously mentioned, yes, it is uncomfortable but discomfort is different from pain. The insertion, and subsequent removal, of the catheter is really quite painless. Some pain does exist, and I'll get into this later, but all reasons for having a catheter inserted are far greater than the comparatively minor "pain" that it can cause.
