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.

Can a person get addicted to wearing a urinary catheter?

I have a urinary catheter fetish. I wear a foley catheter and drainage bag as often as socially possible. I love the feeling of having my urethra constantly stimulated, and when walking briskly I can feel the end of the catheter stimulating the inside of my bladder. I have so many involuntary orgasms a day, I can't even begin to count them. When I am not wearing a catheter, I physically and emotionally crave the feeling of having one inside of me.
