Why do you experience urinary discomfort for a while after a catheter is removed?

It could be that the catheter used was too large for your urethra. The hospital I go to uses a size 16 catheter, which always causes pain for me. Or you could possibly have gotten a bladder infection from the insertion of the catheter.
