Some discomfort may occur during insertion or if the catheter is not positioned properly, but persistent pain can indicate complications such as infection, irritation, or blockage. If you experience significant pain with a catheter, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for evaluation and potential adjustment or treatment.

Should a patient with a surpapubic catheter be able to urinate?
A patient with a suprapubic catheter typically should not be able to urinate through the urethra, as the catheter is placed directly into the bladder, bypassing the normal urinary pathway. The purpose of the suprapubic catheter is to allow for urine drainage when urethral catheterization is not possible or advisable. However, if urine is being passed through the urethra, it may indicate a complication, such as a blockage or improper catheter placement, and should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
