no you don't need foley catheter
No, they're inserted at different sites. In a suprapubic an incision in made just above the pubic hair region hence the name.
Needle, Trocar, Intractheter, or Suprapubic Catheter
The exact number of people in the U.S. using a suprapubic catheter is not widely published, but estimates suggest that thousands of individuals rely on this type of catheter, particularly those with long-term urinary retention or bladder dysfunction. Suprapubic catheters are often used in patients who require long-term urinary management due to conditions like spinal cord injuries or neurological disorders. The prevalence can vary based on factors such as healthcare access and specific medical conditions.
Major complications are rare and may include bowel perforation, entero-cutaneous fistula, bladder perforation, fracture with intra-cavity loss of catheter fragment, knotting of the catheter, catheter migration into the ureter, and an increased risk of bladder cancer.
A Suprapubic Catheter is a urine drainage catheter which is inserted into the bladder so that urine can be drained out, usually when the normal way out for the urine is blocked. Instead of being passed up through the urethra as is usual, the supra pubic catheter is inserted through the abdominal wall just above the pubic bone and into the bladder. This is a minor surgical procedure and involves giving a local anaesthetic injected around the area before the insertion. More often, this procedure is carried out as part of a larger surgical procedure, ie. Prostatectomy, and will be inserted in the operating theatre when you are asleep. The medical term for "above" is "supra" hence Suprapubic, "above the pubic", in this case it is refering to where it is positioned. This can be a long term solution. Hope this helps.
irritation
Suprapubic catheter placement is recommended for those in whom recurrent UTIs have occurred with Foley catheters or Texas (condom) catheters.
A dialysis catheter can clog because the electrolytes such as sodium and potassium that are in the solution can clump together and create a blockage in the catheter.
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.
